Same here on two different boxes, ~x86 and ~amd64. I'm on LXDE,
~/.lxde_errors reports that rxvt could not start due to lack of
pseudo-terminals. Issuing
# mount /dev/pts
by hand temporarily solves the issue.
A related issue might be that during the boot I see that /dev/shm could
not be mounted. /dev/pts and /dev/shm are both mounted by
/etc/init.d/devfs, maybe that's failing?
The last emerge pulled in
sys-apps/openrc-0.11.1
sys-fs/udev-init-scripts-17-r1
but neither one has any bugs open relevant to this. Other ideas?
