Greetings, normally I just hibernate my laptop and rarely reboot or shut it down. But after building kernel 6.6.58-1 I did of course reboot, or rather I tried, because the laptop either stalled or went into an infinite loop. Long pressing the power key did bring the system down, and switching the laptop on again did bring it up, so I could at least investigate.
In syslog I found two suspect lines: Failed to execute /usr/bin/reboot: No such file or directory Failed to execute /usr/bin/poweroff: No such file or directory If I'm not mistaken, these are the locations used by "systemd", but I'm running "openrc" which installs these two binaries into "/sbin/". So I created these two symbolic links in "/usr/bin/" pointing into "/sbin/". However, running "shutdown" still stalled or went into an infinite loop, though without complaining in syslog about not finding "reboot" and "po- weroff". What eventually helped on top of the two symbolic links was rebuilding package "sys-apps/openrc-0.54.2" with additional USE flag "+sysv-utils". However, I don't regard these additional two symbolic links (which are still required) as a real fix but rather as some sort of band-aid. Mind that all this is not necessarily a problem with the new kernel ver- sion. It may just have surfaced now because I wanted to boot the new kernel. So, what am I missing? Some news item? Some new USE flag for some package I have meanwhile installed or upgraded? Some new configu- ration variable in some configuration file? Some new kernel parameter? A bug? I checked the list of open bugs against "sys-apps/openrc", but was missing any sort of deja vu. Any pointers appreciated. Sincerely, Rainer
