ok I found my ext3 journal had become corrupt. This happend immediately after a boot which did a file system check.

...When I cd /var/tmp/portage & then ls -la , the entire directory list comes up as "No such file or directory".

I had some bad memory in the PC & it which was causing it to freeze & crash. I booted my gentoo cd I deleted the journal using this command while unmounted:

tune2fs -O ^has_journal /dev/hda1

Now everything is ok again but I have an ext2 filesystem ....... when I do a tune2fs -j /dev/hda1 it does not fix the problem ?? how can I get my working ext3 back >??
