[gentoo-user] boot stalls at 'mounting local file systems'

[Martins]

any have a hint, my gentoo desktop box stalls booting at 'mounting local  
file systems' for a sudden. there's no system config files i alerted,  
nothing at all. from win i see all my ext3 partitions, all VFAT are there  
too. whatshoul i look for?

If you are using ldap, it can cause long delays for things that occur
before networking is active when something tries to lookup a user from
the ldap server, but times out.

So far I've heard of this affecting bootmisc, udev, and now
localmount.  There are some workarounds listed in this bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=99564

Basically, downgrading the version of ldap or or changing the ldap
configuration seems to fix it for most people.

In your case, it is probably this part of localmount that is causing
the problem:

        if [[ -n ${usbfs} ]] && \
           [[ -e /proc/bus/usb && ! -e /proc/bus/usb/devices ]]
        then
                ebegin "Mounting USB device filesystem (${usbfs})"
                usbgid=$(echo $(getent group usb) | awk -F: '{print $3}')
                mount -t ${usbfs} usbfs /proc/bus/usb \
                        ${usbgid:+-o devmode=0664,devgid=${usbgid}}
                eend $? "Failed to mount USB device filesystem"
        fi

This tries to do a lookup of the 'usb' group.

If it does indeed turn out to be an ldap issue, add a comment to the
linked bug or at least let me know and I'll do it.

Hi, thanks for response. I dont have anything related to ldap. But booting 
older kernel did the trick.

I have seen similar on a couple of systems. Work fine with kernel
2.6.16-r13 but fail when upgrading to 2.6.17-r4.

Do you have any reiserfs filesystems? Mine did that a week ago too.
Turns out it was one of the reiserfs filesystems was a bit bad &
needed a --rebuild-tree from reiserfsck.

looks like my problem was due to busybox upgrade, after rebuilding kernel 
everything looks fine
