 |
|
I've just completed an emerge -u world, and it did -among other pkg- updated baselayout (oohhhh myy....)
anyway, I trust on all going well, but no...
after reboot... well... after is not the word, because on the init process, devfsd don't start (give me an [!!]), and the hard disks couldn't initialize... sooooo... no boot at all
what happened??
pleaseee, heeelp! I'm without gentoo now!! I can't stand it!!

SOLVED !!!
I do the following:
1. boot a gentoo-live cd
2. mount my actual gentoo partition onto /mnt/gentoo
3. chrooted to /mnt/gentoo
4. emerge my old baselayout (1.8.3)
5. etc-update files as necessary
6. reboot into my actual gentoo
7. IT WORKED!!!!
Thank you to all that people who posts in the forums, I was searching and don't find an answer, but reading a lot of your posts give light to my brain...

Hi lanark!
Good to see things turned out right for you! However, I don't think this is a practical solution but a simple workaround. What could be useful would be to force -u world to skip baselayout. Is there a way for that? - asking anyone around...

You can change the packages mask, but it will be overwritten upon rsync.

I had a similar problem with devfsd but found that it did not like kernel 2.4.19 so I still run the older devfsd and don't "emerge -u world" only one app at a time.
Regards
Tim

I know this is only a workaround, but as I am of the obsessive type, I always do an emerge -pu world; then manualy emerge -p and emerge each single package the pretend world give me.
Even so, I did (fool of me) a manual emerge of baselayout, as pretend world tells me, and believing that all will be ok.
So, my solution from now on is ignore whatever the pretend world thing tells me about baselayout... As for an automatation of this... well... I'm automatized too much from manualy emerging an update, isn't it?
