I did an gcc upgrade but did not do an emerge -e system after that. Something was broken after that and the system did not boot anymore after I had to reboot some months later (it was a remote machine :(). What solved my problem: boot with a live cd or rescue image via pxe and chroot in your system. Do an source /etc/profile and env-update (afairc). Then re-emerge gcc glibc binutils and baselayout and reboot. Do a backup before trying this - you never know :) Good Luck, Andy -- gentoo-server@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
