Took some time. As for using portage Why did you need to chroot, just boot your normal system without X (add gentoo=3Dnox to the kernel paramaters). Didn't remember the option in these times of panic (I had some task to achi= eve rapidly). It's now an entry in grub.conf > 2.2, it's listed as ~*2.2.0_alpha41, too early for me. Thanks all for > the help Don't let the ridiculous version number fool you, 2.2 has been generally usable for a couple of years. Oooops, I stupidly thought that "alpha" in version name, which usually does= n't appear, meant a specially risky version in alpha state...
