Re: [gentoo-user] Problems Booting

[Chris Woods <chris@bitspace.org>]

Something very similar happened to me. baselayout-1.12.0_pre1-r1 was emerged 
in the past day or two, and the next time I rebooted, it hung up on what at 
first seemed to be having issues loading alsa. The boot did get into runlevel 
3, so I was able to get in remotely and mess around. After pruning various 
things from the startup routine, it turned out to be sys-apps/dbus causing the 
problem for me. I removed that from the init sequence, rebooted, and 
everything is back to normal (or seems to be).

I'm not familiar with dbus, but it was a dependency of evolution, and the very 
simple description of the "dbus" use flag seemed innocuous enough.

I'm still running on baselayout-1.12.0_pre1-r1.

Regards,
Chris
