I have just added myself to this list today and moira hasn't updated
yet, so please cc: replies to me.

I just installed layered athena yesterday.  It seemed to go well,
and I was able to login and work successfully, though I did not have
more than half an hour to test it.

Today I decided to add the 'login' layer.  Installation seemed to go
okay, and the system rebooted.  However the reboot failed.  It got to
the following lines and stopped:
	attaching system libraries:
	hubb1526792192a -> lck.lb 0
	a -> lck.op 2

	hubb157693440nl -> lck.nb 2147483647
	nl -> lck.op 2
	blocked: sameproc true

I tried a ^C at that point.  The system gave a message about not
being able to attach system libraries and continued.  But of course
I was not able to login at the end; it gave an activation error.

Any ideas?

On another issue, when the boot goes to start the AFS kernel, it
spits out some 50-odd messages like:
	kernel symbol with funny type: 'ioctl' type=6
with 'ioctl' being replace by some 50 or so other values.  It appears
to still function, but I don't know if these messages can be fixed or
ignored.
