It worked fine a few weeks ago but after the openrc upgrade, no more worky. The funny thing is, I can go to a console and type in rc single, that works fine. It goes to single user mode with no errors. Well, I did notice top showed the ttys still running. I'm going to test that later. That may be another thread for another day. Sort of beating on one thing at a time. ;-) I just thought maybe it changed from softlevel to something else but if it did, I can't find it documented anywhere and even Google appears to be lost on this. Open to ideas still. Dale :-) :-)
