Hello Everyone.

Long time user not the first time fu_ _ up. I "emerge --umerrge e2fsprogs"
because I was trying to emerge gnome-light. Anyhow I forgot to
"emerge e2fsprogs" now I am recieving the libbkid.s0.1 cannot open error
message. proc mounting proc [oops] at bootup. Can I fix this without
reinstall. I trying to login under maintenance and under rescue, I am in a
read only environment and extremly stuck. I am trying to emerge e2fsprogs
but having a hard time in read only

Yhanks In Advnaced,
Ninus.

You could try sysresccd¹, it's gentoo based. Boot into it and do a quickpkg 
e2fsprogs. Now mount your system partition and copy the package from your 
live cd environment to your system. Chroot into it and emerge -k1 e2fsprogs

Footnoty stuff:

If you have a problem, call your system-administrator.
If you are the system-administrator, you have a problem.

I correct myself - once you're in your own system environment¹, you don't need 
sysresccd's e2fsprogs, you can install e2fsprogs the normal way. Actually, 
then you can use any live cd for that, as long as it gives you network 
access.

mount /dev/yoursystempartition /mnt/gentoo
mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
chroot /mnt/gentoo
env-update && source /etc/profile
emerge e2fsprogs

No trees were killed in the sending of this message.
However a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.

Look at the gentoo handbook and follow it (of course except of
extracting tar balls and formatting disks) until you have a chroot into
your system. You should then be able to emerge again.

Don't forget to use a 64bit live cd if your system is AMD64.
