I'm not sure about the keyboard and mouse after that tho. At least maybe you can get to a console. Did you run etc-update, or whatever config update tool you prefer, after the updates? You may also want to emerge the old version of hal and try that. Since you can get in, that may help. Of course, if it was me, I'd mask that version and skip that one in the future. O_O Maybe the next version will work better. Hope that helps, a little anyway. Dale :-) :-)
