When I rebooted was greeted by a maintenance console and the message "libblkid.so.1 cannot open shared object file". A little googling later I realized that e2fsprogs-libs should not have been removed. No problem, I'll chroot and fix it. After the chroot I was able to mount /dev/sda1 on /mnt/gentoo but couldn't mount /dev/sdb2 on /var where portage is kept on this system. The error was identical to the original one when the pc was first rebooted: "mount: error while loading shared libraries: libblkid.so.1..." I tried to run e2fsck on /dev/sda2 but got this error msg: "e2fsck: error while loading shared libraries: libcom_err.so.2: cannot open shared object file..." Any one see a way past this impasse? I'm using ext2 with the journal option. Maxim
