Hello,
Running CRUX dual-booted with Windows 7 on two machines. On one everything is fine. On the other, when I turn the machine on for the first time in a day OR when I’ve just been in Windows and am switching back OR a few other random times, it takes me four or five pushes of the reset button to get it to boot.
I get part of the startup output and then just after the lines: umount: /sys: device is busy. (In some cases useful info about processes that use the device is found by lsof(8) or fuser(1)) mount: sysfs already mounted or /sys busy
I've been getting this message for quite a long time (don't remember since which kernel vesion), but all my Crux systems boot and run perfectly, so that's most probably not the reason for the kernel panic. Anyway, I just looked into /etc/rc again, and got the impression that the eroor is caused by the fact that /sys is already mounted when /etc/rc starts. So I made the following changes in /etc/rc: Comment out this line (ca. 13): /bin/mount -n -t sysfs none /sys and replace this (ca. 55): /bin/umount /sys /proc by /bin/umount /proc And indeed, the error message disappears, while /sys is still correctly mounted. Give it a try, but keep in mind that I'm not a kernel specialist! No guarantee! As to the real boot problem: Could it be a problem with your harddisk? Does the system boot reliably from CD-ROM?
