\completecontent seems to solve my problem so far... To see what my problem was try out the following example:
\setuplayout [location=middle, header=\lineheight, headerdistance=\lineheight]
\setuppagenumbering [alternative=doublesided,location=]
\setupheadertexts [section][pagenumber] [pagenumber][chapter]
\setuphead [chapter] [%before={\talkingk[force,\dimexpr\headerheight+\headerdistance\relax]}, header=high]
\setupbackgrounds [header][text][frame=off,bottomframe=on]
\starttext
\placecontent %\completecontent
\dorecurse{3} {\chapter{Test} \dorecurse{250}{talking talking talking } }
\stoptext
I see a rule on page 1, 2, 4, 6 and 8, no rules are on page 3, 5 and 7. All of them are correct and what I expect from your setups. I am correct you don't want the rule on the first page. Wolfgang
