i think it is worth starting from scratch again.
i have installed gentoo for 40 times since i started using gentoo. i never once had a bug you are worried about.
fsck runs ok? on all partitions[idont know about your reiserfs ]
i have always used ext3 only.

curious,
is it a file or a symlink to /proc/mounts ?
I see this happening when there's a symlink to /proc/mounts ... and my systems where mtab is handled by umount/mount only do not show this... Of course if the filesystem is generally read-only there's some advantage to have /etc/mtab -> /proc/mounts ...

Here we go, this is what I see:
| Code: | eddie@eddies-lappy ~ $ ls /etc/mtab -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 551 Dec 21 20:29 /etc/mtab
eddie@eddies-lappy ~ $ ls /proc/mounts -l
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Dec 21 23:36 /proc/mounts -> self/mounts |
So I guess the answer is no =)

Was there a section in that howto that says to copy /proc/mounts to /etc/mtab for your chroot? Maybe you have a stale mtab.
Boot up with a gentoo minimal install disk or even better, sysrescuecd and then mount your root fs. Then nuke (delete) your mtab file and reboot. Should do the trick. Make sure you nuke the mtab on disk, not the the livecd one. |

Interesting.. I don't seem to recall doing that, whether I was asked to or not.
I haven't got a livecd to hand at the moment - so I can't really try this out - but like I mentioned this is something that never happened when I first installed gentoo. Granted between now and then I've done a lot more tinkering, which is most likely the reason behind my downfall - but I guess I'd like to know what it was =)

hello,
IMHO the problem is that ' /etc/conf.d/checkfs ' always create a new ' mtab ' and ignore the current one
on old installed Systems i never see the message before
And why the current ' /proc/mounts / ' have this ' rootfs '
cat /proc/mounts
rootfs / rootfs rw 0 0
/dev/root / reiserfs rw,noatime 0 0
proc /proc proc rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
udev /dev tmpfs rw,nosuid 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,nosuid,noexec 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
none /lib/rc/init.d tmpfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,nosuid,noexec 0 0
nfsd /proc/fs/nfsd nfsd rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
securityfs /sys/kernel/security securityfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0
debugfs /sys/kernel/debug debugfs rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec 0 0

i dont see a checkfs in this folder. nr i have never come across this conf.d content in all my previous gentoo installatio.,nor the install doc says about making one checkfs
i would suggest you remove it temporarily and see if your mtab situation improves.
is it doing some cron job? a mounted partition checkfs can result in these troubles er i guess so.

hello,
ooh sorry, i mean ' /etc/init.d/checkfs '
or maybe the ' rootfs ' came because of this:
from ' /etc/init.d/checkroot '
do_mtab() {
# Don't create mtab if /etc is readonly
if ! printf "" 2>/dev/null >/etc/mtab ; then
ewarn "Skipping /etc/mtab initialization (ro root?)"
return 0
fi
ebegin "Updating /etc/mtab" < --- always get this at boot, never get this before
# With / as tmpfs we cannot umount -at tmpfs in localmount as that
# makes / readonly and dismounts all tmpfs even if in use which is
# not good. Luckily, umount uses /etc/mtab instead of /proc/mounts
# which allows this hack to work.
grep -v "^[^ ]* / tmpfs " /proc/mounts > /etc/mtab
# Remove stale backups
rm -f /etc/mtab~ /etc/mtab~~
eend 0
}

these are complete scripts of the files. compare and do need fuls. you may even run these scripts inplace of your files.
i hope this may help you

Well, I have the same problem as CooSee, and the same init.d scripts.
I guess the difference is because I (and probable CooSee also) have the baselayout 2.0.0_rc6 version. |

A quick me too here, I'm suffering from the problem using the masked baselayout v2!
Maybe that is the root of my problems...

it does not want to emerge baselayout-2.0* at all
as seen above it is all masked for me x86 system
as you see to update wants to emerge debianutils
i would try to downgrade debianutils and /or baselayout for your troubles.
i remember to have read somewhere baselayout-2.0* has different initscripts
and has some special start sequence controls. and that it is still all masked .
i dont see how you two can install the masked package.
i also use [accept_keywords=~x86] in my make.conf
so it is no use for you of my files quote.

i am sure you are having more than 2 or more computers to play with
good hunt.

edit:

Yeah, it seems baselayout2 init scripts are the source of the 'problem', and whether it is hard masked or not is not a reason not to solve this.
But Roy (the one who wrote the baselayout2) has recently left gentoo (link to his blog: http://roy.marples.name/node/337), so I do not know if this one will be solved one day. This is not a big issue, but this bother me a little
I'm wondering if we should submit a bug report on gentoo's bugzilla or not ?? |

currently its status is unsupported software.
where you report bug?
you have to wait untill it is open for all emerge in portage.
as long as your system work other wise alright why worry about startup message?
