My Reiser3 Gentoo system has hardware stability issues (by that i mean 'the case is a bit warped and i have to tape stuff in place') that necessitate periodic messy reboots (and by that i mean 'pushing the reset button'). As such, my filesystem has become quite corrupted over the past 6 months, and I had to do some fscking. That went allright, rebuilt my tree and whatnot, but now some (well, quite a few) files are corrupt. One of these is a libpango (package 'pango') file that X (xorg-x11) needs to start. I've tried re-emerging pango and, when that didnt work, xorg-x11. No dice. The pango emerge fails with no error message. What should I do? Thanks in advance!

you could boot the livecd and chroot to your HD, then emerge pango again?

Well, after trying every version in portage and failing one by one, I did get the same version of pango to emerge (without booting a livecd or anything funny, although that same version had failed earlier). No change in X behavior - still wont start. It gets a fair way into it, that is, I see the Nvidia splash screen and later the X cursor on the black screen, but after showing me the X for a second or two it crashes back to the terminal.

my opinion is that you are going to be best off resolving your hardware issues, backing up what you can't live without and starting from scratch.

Damn.
Thats what I've been thinking, but wanted a second opinion in case there was a possibility I could resolve my issues otherwise. Thanks for your input though.
a-bootstrap.sh-ing I will go, just as soon as I get some heavier duty tape for my bitchin' AMI Megaraid. Too bad those things dont really fit in an ATX case, hehe...

Hi,

maybe
Code:
revdep-rebuild -p
helps here. I don't know if it checks the libs wether they are corrupted or only files that depend on not existing libs.
