When booting rc6 I get one error:

/etc/init.d/runscript.sh: /dev/shm/etc/mtab.sh: No such file or directory    
  [!!]

Does anybody know what causes this error (and how to fix it)?

Thanks,
Grant

Hi,

I have the same error here with the rc6 snapshot.
It seems to be generated by the checkroot init script.
A dirty fix is creating the /dev/shm/etc directory just before
the first echo ... command. 
The mtab.sh file cannot be created because the etc subdir doesn't
exist.

I still in the fase of studying the init scripts, so I have no
idea how to fix it in a good way.

Erik

It's very likely that you're having this problem because you haven't
updated your initscripts, which are protected by config file management.
Do this:

# cd /etc
# find -iname '._cfg????_*'

These are new config files that were installed.  In particular, you should
have a new ._cfg????_checkroot file that you can copy over your existing
checkroot to solve the problem.

Hi,

I checked for these _cfg files, but no _cfg0000_checkroot file exists.
I do see that 2 baselayouts are/were installed, v1.6.1 from the build.tbz
and
during emerging upgraded to v1.6.2. Can this be related ?

TIA
Erik

Yes; note that the files begin with a '.'; it's '._cfg????_*', not '_cfg????_*'
