I upgraded to GCC 4.6.3 today and switched my profile over to it, while most of my system has been build on GCC 4.4 - I'm not sure if that matters here. I'm currently on kernel 2.6.35-gentoo-r12, and I was making strides to upgrade the system so I could migrate to udev-204 from udev-171-r6 which I currently have. When I upgraded to the 3.8.13 kernel today, I got the normal gdm login interface I use, but when I tried to login - no dice! SSH server refused to allocate PTY, and I could not kill X in order to get into a terminal (at least, it starts right back up). So I figured maybe I made a mistake configuring the new kernel, so I reverted back to my 2.6.35-gentoo-r12 kernel, and X of course wouldn't come up because my nvidia modules have been re-made for the new kernel. I was able to log in to the system under the old kernel, but when I run any emerge, it says "openpty failed: 'out of pty devices'". So all of a sudden it doesn't seem to be connected to my upgrade to the new kernel, as the old kernel does the same thing. Where do I start looking for a problem? I can follow instructions, but beyond using emerge and updating the system, I don't know a whole lot about inner workings. I sure woud appreciate some help to get me out of this bind. :-( Thank you, Denis --e89a8fb2083449afbf04e03b9591 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
