Hi,
I need to do a GRUB-2 reinstall.

Here is the log from the trying to merge the current GRUB version.
However, as can be seen here it is not available.

And here is the list of all grub ebuilds.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you.

For problem of sys-process/procps:0 and sys-libs/ncurses:0 you can try with --backtrack=100 option of emerge.

Hi,
This is the log of me trying to rebuild and re-install the GRUB.

Couple of questions:
1. Why there are 2 additional packages that needs to be installed?
2. How do I turn on libzfs support? I will try to do Solaris dual-boot and see if it is possible.

Thank you.

Hi, fedeliallalinea
Here is the try to emerge the grub-2.
And here is the package.use.mask.

As you can see the flag is still not on.

I booted up from the LiveCD and chrooted into the install.

Any idea?

Thank you.

package.use.mask and use.mask files work differently compared to at others files package.*
For unmask a a use flag you need to add sign '-'

Hi, fedeliallalinea,
That worked.

However I got this.

As far as I understand even if I am chrooted I am running the kernel from the CD, right? Or it picks up the kernel configuration from the hard drive?

Please clarify. I can rebuild the kernel with this option turn on and install it but need to make sure that this is a way to go.

Thank you.
