 Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2002 11:51 pm Post subject: A wierd thing happened when I rebooted |
 |
|
I seemed to boot up properly once i linked grub.conf to the *.lst file(I can't remember the name)except that I seem to have a line repeating through the boot that doesn't seem right.
/sbin/runscript.sh:1:: command not found
It repeats with the "1" alternating between 1 and 2, 5 to 15 times between every starred statement.
Anybody ever seen anything like that, and better yet know how to fix it?

I dunno, it sounds like it's not correctly mounting your / filesystem. Any info about that? What file system you running?

It's not migrated over to the new FAQ forum yet, but see https://forums.gentoo.org/faq.php#17.

I've fixed it now but I wish you could explain to me how you knew so fast what the problem probably was? I guess you can't teach experience and maybe next time somebody has the same prob, I can do the enlightening.
Thanks |

I wrote that FAQ entry, based on /sbin/runscript.sh: command not found, which was the first time I saw it. In shell scripts, "command not found" is preceded by the name of the command and a colon. That way, you know that the "command" that isn't being found is '1:', and as is described in that earlier thread, I used grep on various things that users generally edit in /etc, and found it that way.

Hi,
I also had some errors on boot, after my Gentoo actually humed to life:
| Code: |

Of course, I know it must be some errors in my rc.conf file but I checked it and tried some other parameters without success. It could also be a nano wrap error. I will post the important lines of rc.conf later, yet I am tired and I go sleeping.
Merry Christmas to you all. Hope the 1.4 stable will come out soon, as christmas surprise

# /etc/rc.conf
KEYMAP="fr-latin1"
CONSOLEFONT="default8x16"
CLOCK="local"
DISPLAYMANAGER=gdm
XSESSION=gnome

I can't handle the "rc-envupdate issue", if it refers to /etc/hostname, I just wrote "idk-002c307".
Concerning the random number generator, I didn't compile it at all, so I presume, I must recompile the kernel with it but I don't understand why it is needed.
Also, I am not at home and have my ethernet connection disable, which I normally use to download packages, could it be a source of error (I don't think so)?
For the rest (the majority) of this errors, I have no idea  |

Do you have a separate /usr partition? It may be that /usr is not yet mounted by the time these things are running. I would consider this a bug in the init scripts - they should work even without /usr. In any case 'id' on my system is in /usr/bin/id.
You may be able to work around the problem by copying affected executables to /bin, but that's rather ugly, as Portage will not know about it. Another option would be to add "require localmount" to the affected services, in which case they will not try to run before all local disks are mounted.

| Yes, I have a separated /usr partition. I think it's the problem you named (/usr/bin/id exists for me also), I'll try to fix this issue later. I also have a separate /var partitionand it seems to cause the same problem. Just a precision: where exactly do I need to add "require localmount", in rc-envupdate.sh I suppose ? |

It's later than I thought and here I am now: after the installation, I can reboot and login as root but I can't do anything, just simple commands like ls, ping (doesn't ping anything, although I configured my netwrk and it worked before the reboot) ... but most of the commands (like less, nano, halt and so on) do not work either.
What can I do ? |

Moreover, as I log in, I receive this message from bash:
| Code: |
-bash: /usr/bin/whoami: no such file or directory
-bash: [: =: unary operator expected
|
Now, I don't see my /usr files (as it also probably is for /var, according to the error message at boot time) and the corresponding partition is mounted (I have a separated /usr partition, a separated /var partition and so on). But when I boot from the 1.2 livecd (I have a laptop on which the other installation cd didn't work, at least the 1.4rc1), I can see all that files.  |

| Are you *sure* you have /usr and /var mounted? If so, when you did your install, did you mount them _prior_ to untaring that stage* tarball? |

Okay, and you added them your /etc/fstab?
The fact that you can't see anything in these partitions even after the boot process ends seems to imply that they are not mounted. |

| I know, that it implies, they are not mounted, but when I tried to mount the usr partition, mount said the partition is already mounted or the device is busy. |

what does just typing say? Usually it should show just the partitions that are mounted. |

Do you have support for reiserfs compiled into your kernel or is it a module? Also the entries for home and var don't seem to be right, i.e. the slash '/' is somewhat missing (I'm not really sure of that, it just looks a little bit strange, maybe an typo in your fstab?)

Okay, that looks like hda8 is mounting on "var" instead of "/var". Check your fstab to make sure it says "/var". |

Oups, excuse me, it's a typo in the code above, you should read /var and /home. fstab is not in question.

I can't umount /usr: device busy. I don't know what to do. It should be linked with the boot errors but I don't understand how. Is there something I can update with emerge which should improve the situation (I should still reach the network with the installation CD and chroot). I wrote a new topic in this forum to solve this problem:
