[gentoo-user] baselayout broke my system

[Grant]

Hello everyone, I updated to something like baselayout pre9-r2 a few
days ago and I immediately started getting this on boot up right after
"Checking root filesystem":

The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or anything else), then the superblock is
corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate
superblock;
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>

I tried running that with /dev/hda3 for the <device> with no good
results.  I booted to a LiveCD, chrooted, synced, and updated
baselayout to something like baselayout pre10-1 tonight with the same
results.  What can I do to get this baby working again?

Is your root fs really ext2?
Did you try disabling fs check for / in /etc/fstab?

Bye...

did you also upgrade glibc to 2.3.6?  Apparently there's some behaviour
with glibc and recent versions of portage that really screw things up.

More info here http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112082

It may not be your issue, but HTH!

If you ran etc-update did you check /etc/fstab

I checked /etc/fstab and it looked fine.  I tried upgrading to
baselayout-1.12.0_pre10-r1 with the same results.  I was able to fix
it by downgrading back to baselayout-1.12.0_pre9-r1.  Should I just
keep trying to upgrade when a new version is released and then roll
back if it still breaks?

That what I'd do!  Also: post your results on bugzilla (under an
existing bug if there is one, or make a new one) so the devs know what
the issue are.

This is occasionally the fun you get with ~x86 :)
