[gentoo-user] Can't Get Systemd to Work

Hi all. I am having issues with Systemd as well. I added to the GRUB2
configuration file the needed command line to get Systemd to start, but for
whatever reason, the kernel is adamant that I must use OrenRC. I recompiled
with Genkernel-next a new kernel and initramfs, and that, for whatever
reason, doesn't automount my /boot partition. Is there a fix to this?

You need to tell us what you added and what the kernel complained about.
The only information we have is what is in your mail, we are not the NSA,
we cannot see what is on your computer.

It is standard practice to not mount the /boot partition. By the time the
boot process gets to mounting what is in /etc/fstab, /boot is no longer
needed. That's why it is usually set to noauto in fstab.

where is the quote, where is the text?

And it's called systemd with a d ->

GRUB_CMD_LINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/system/systemd"

btw

GRUB_CMD_LINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/system/systemd"

btw
Changed the line to mirror that in the Grub file, no luck.
#Append parameters to the Linux Kernel.
GRUB_CMD_LINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/system/systemd"
Save the file.
Mount /dev/sda2 /boot && grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Why sda2 ? usually sda1 is /boot or / ...
Show us lsblk and /etc/fstab ... we have very little information yet.
And what is "no luck" ? What do you get?

The same again you are mistyping systemd, is
"/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" read carefully what you copy, and verify
always those paths really exist. If you had done this, you would have
noticed /usr/lib/system/system doesn't exist at all.

Please post relevant information in your mails, this list is archived,
the contents of your dropbox/pastebin/whatever are not.

From your /etc/default/grub

# Append parameters to the linux kernel command line
# GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd"

The setting is commented out, no wonder it is being ignored.
