I've been changing my Gentoo desktop alot lately in terms of networking, hostnames, and adding new a new SATA HBA and the latest problem I have encountered that I can't figure out is syslog-ng always hanging on boot.

I get...

...on boot and it hangs there indefinitely. No errors up to that point in the boot process. All mountpoints are mounted, hostname is set (home router DHCP adds the domain).

The only way I found around it is to CTRL+ALT+DELETE reboot the system, boot into single-user mode, remove syslog-ng from the default runlevel and reboot normally. When I start syslog-ng from the live system, I get no problems.

Ideas?

if you need better, than gives better, "that thing is not working" is not helping.

That bug doesn't seem to be related.

I don't know what other information to give other than syslog-ng boots fine on multiple VMs on this same host and on other bare metal PCs and a laptop. They are all up to date as of last night.

Here's some system information. Again, the system will hang indefinitely if syslog-ng attempts to start at boot time. I had to remove it from the default runlevel to boot.

BlueFusion ...

I suspect your '@version' (in syslog-ng.conf) doesn't match the installed version ... possibly due to you not having merged the config after updating the package.

Code:
# eix --format '<installedversions:NAMEVERSION>' app-admin/syslog-ng
app-admin/syslog-ng-3.7.1
# head -n 1 /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
@version: 3.7

HTH & best ... khay
