I realize there's no network connection. ifconfig shows eth0 with the inet addr line missing. /etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart It shuts down and won't restart. dmesg shows "eth0: 0 multicast blocks dropped" every time I try to start the network. Our network uses dhcpcd if that gives any useful information. I can't see why binutils is affecting the network but it seems to be. I can't downgrade to a previous binutils because I cleared out /usr/portage/distfiles since the last time it was upgraded and I don't have a working network connection. Any help that does not involve re-installing Gentoo would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Craig Joly -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
