I'm posting what happened and why in case anyone else stumbles into this. I sync'd portage on Saturday. Then on yesterday I tweaked a kernel config setting and grub.conf. When I tried to 'make install' I got an error that update-grub was not found and would I like to make a boot disk. After much digging I tracked it down to debianutils-2.18. The /sbin/mkboot it installs wants to use update-grub to modify grub.conf, but debianutils-2.18 does not install update-grub. It appears that for a brief period Saturday debianutils-2.18 was released unmasked. It's fixed now, but i spent a large chunk of yesterday tearing my hair out trying to figure how I screwed up the kernel (suspend2-sources) and/or grub. Another sync will set things right with debianutils-2.18 arch masked. dcm -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
