(That's what my memory tells me, anyway, but I can't see where I found it now.) So I decided to emerge -e world, which I did in two passes: first emerge -eB world, then boot to a minimal system and emerge -eK world. Then etc-update and reboot, compile the kernel again (gentoo-sources-3.18.9) and a final reboot. Maybe something went wrong in the middle of that, so I've set off the same process again. It'll take a few hours, so I'm off to bed again meanwhile - it's 04:30 here. -- Rgds Peter.
