[gentoo-user] booting fails, something with openrc?

[gentoo-user] booting fails, something with openrc?

[Stefan G. Weichinger]

I somehow screwed up my new and shiny box.

Everything ran fine until yesterday I depcleaned a bit too much, as it
seems.

The symptom:

booting sits there and openrc has many services waiting for other
services ... the first one seems to be mdraid ... but I am not sure.

I already chrooted into the installation and did "emerge -e system" and
"revdep-rebuild" and stuff. "emerge -avuDN world" doesn't work for me,
as I don't want to pull in gnome-3.x right now ...

As far as I know everything (system) is now built with gcc-4.5.3 ... so
that shouldn't be the problem.

The raid-arrays (md0 for root) assemble correctly from live-cd, so what
could be the problem? What should I explore now?

*sigh*

lvm2? Should be part of @system? Will look for that now ...

Thanks for any help on this, Stefan

chroot again, re-emerged lvm2, no change.
chroot again, disabled dmcrypt (I don't have anything encrypted now), no
change.

chroot again, now the service-dependencies look a bit different.

migrate-run (what is it) waits for mdraid
and it waits for lvm

and lvm seems to wait for ...... mdraid ??

I booted now with systemd, this is very helpful now! ;-)

I know that openrc has already been re-emerged, how could I have screwed
up those dependencies by unmerging something yesterday?

rc-depend and rc-update didn't help so far.
running stuff with systemd is a good enough workaround so far.

Time to get out of the office at least a bit now.

Thanks for any hints on this issue, Stefan

Oh boy:   setting rc_parallel="NO" in /etc/rc.conf did the trick now.
Around 4 hrs of fiddling ... and then it is one "wrong bit".

I don't have an explanation, just the result ... up and running fine now
w/ openrc.

*sigh*

So a couple of people I've heard of so far have an issue with the
parallel setting and the latest openrc.  You should report a bug if
there isn't one already.

Might be that one:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391945

Didn't browse the bugzilla as I felt myself guilty of having screwed up
something ...  ;-)

Just to add that one here, for the records (and people googling this):

After removing "migrate-run" from boot runlevel, rc_parallel=YES works
again as well.
