netmount does not seem to start at boot
 

Hello everyone.

I installed Gentoo linux on my pc a couple days ago.
I then installed xorg and then kde.

I am very happy about it all since it is the first time I compiled my kernel successfully. I had tried many, many times in the past but always failed :(

Everything seem to be running fine. Sound, networking. However, at boot and at shutdown, I get, among all the "ok" messages, a line that says the following :

ERROR: cannot start netmount as net.eth0 could not start

I really don't know how to correct this and help about this would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, I see what is causes the problem but have not idea how to solve it.

At boot time, the system tries to start netmount before it starts eth0.

I looked at the output at boot time and it shows that the following are booted in order:

-DBUS
-HAL
-netmount (error)
-kdm
-eth0 (this one should boot before netmount if I am correct)

OK, I figured that since I do not have any lines in /etc/fstab that refers to a network share, I do not need netmount at all.

I issued the following command to temporarily solve the problem

rc-update del netmount default
