One easy thing to try, for debugging, is to cat the sys file immediately=20 before and after the echo/write. Of course, you'll want the system set=20 so no fancy splash screens (or an immediate boot to X) hide the output,=20 but that should really be the default for someone hardcore enough to have= =20 chosen Gentoo. I seem to also remember a "quiet-boot" parameter of some=20 sort in /etc/rc.conf or /etc/conf.d/rc, that you may need to turn off if=20 it interferes with debugging. However, it's off by default so unless you= =20 turned it on you should be fine. You can also try set -x (or -v) before, and set +x (or +v) after. Those=20 tend to be useful debugging tricks on anything bash script based, as the=20 initscripts are. I generally run the newer baselayout/openrc stuff (and am running it now,= =20 thus I don't remember and can't easily check settings like that quite- boot option I mentioned), often while it's still somewhat buggy, and have= =20 traced and filed several bugs using tricks like the above to let me know=20 what's going on. --=20 Duncan - List replies preferred.
