[gentoo-user] init scripts failing after server update

Hi

Around 8 to 10 months I've left a server without updates, and now, after
also building a new kernel, emerging new gcc, glibc, re-emerging baselayout,
sysvinit and all packages that contains something in /etc/init.d/ , the boot
process hangs after a few of the scripts (normally at keymaps or
consolefont) returns their "ok" message.

If I use the option to key in an "i" for interactive boot and skip all
remaining services, I get a login prompt on TTY1 through TTY6 as expected,
and if I issue every script on the boot and default rc-levels, everything
works fine (well, one or two of them complain about something specific, but
the important thing is that it doesn't hang at all).

Any ideas? The server is up and running (apache, ssh, samba, svn, mysql,
ftp, nfs, distcc, etc.) so I'm not in a hurry.

I'm thinking on unmerging sysvinit and baselayout just to make sure there is
no garbage left, then re-emerging them.

Thanks
Francisco
