Hi,
I have been experimenting with s6* programs for a couple of months and,
by progressively replacing the sysv boot scripts with s6 services, now
have my current system booting and running without sysvinit. Supervised
logging with s6-log is also working, replacing sysklogd.
Despite not really knowing how all this worked, I decided to build a
new version of Linux From Scratch (LFS) without sysvinit and sysklogd,
using s6* instead. S6LFS?
The new build boots, I get a Login prompt and s6-svscan is running as
pid 1 but nothing else happens. None of the 'compiled' services are
copied to the /run directory.
I have clearly missed a step, hopefully a simple one, and the annoying
thing is that I obviously took that step for my current working system
without recognising it!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Wild guess: have you edited your /etc/rc.init to uncomment the
s6-rc-init and s6-rc invocations?

Good guess.
Uncommenting the s6 invocations still left me at Login prompt but
running
s6-rc -u change default
now brings up the system. This exposed a problem with an unknown user
(s6log) which I had forgotten to add to the new build.
It's early days; I think I'll clean out /etc/s6* and start again.
Thanks for your help.
