I recently did a:
Code:
emerge rsync
emerge -u world

Now each time I boot up I get an error which appears to be related to an update to hdparm. I'm not quite sure how to correct it or what exactly is causing the error. The error reads:
Code:
/sbin/rc: /mnt/.init.d/softscripts/hdparm: /sbin/runscript: bad interpreter: Permission denied
/sbin/runscript.sh: /etc/init.d/hdparm: /sbin/runscript: bad interpreter: Permission denied


Any ideas as to what this means? I haven't noticed any lack of functionality with my computer yet, but I would like to resolve this error.

Any suggestions/ideas would be helpful
Thanks in advanced

Don't worry, you didn't do anything wrong. Whoever came up with the latest hdparm ebuild did a major FUBAR and forgot to set the hdparm script in /etc/init.d as executable.

Easy fix, just do this:

Code:
su
(enter root password)
cd /etc/init.d
chmod a+x hdparm


Done, now if you reboot it doesn't complain (and conveinently turns on DMA for your IDE harddrive, just in case you hadn't already done that).

I'm submitting a bug report, so it should be all fixed up soon...its nothing to worry about, if you just want to wait for the fixed ebuild to come out...
