 Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2006 11:00 am Post subject: [SOLVED]System barely boots anymore |
 |
|
Hello all,
I am running gentoo stable.
Today I did my monthly gentoo update with emerge --sync, emerge the updated packages update the config files and reboot. However something went terribly wrong. X isn't booting anymore and my system barely works, I can login, use nano and thats about it. For some reason I can't find any boot logs recorded either. My system is also started as read-only, re-mounting the system does not work. Can anybody tell me howto fix it please?
EDIT:
Some other things: Kernel 2.6.14-r4 (I did emerge 2.6.15-r1 but did not install it yet)

I saw that recently an upgrade of baselayout was available.
When you did this and made amistake in etc-update this maybe it
( it wanted to remove stufffrom /etc/init.d)
maybe you could try to remerge baselayout (or firste emerge again the older version) and try again |

Ok, I got the base back up and running (booted from the live-cd, emerged old baselayout, updated config files with etc-update, emere new baselayout, updated again with etc-update) however xorg and alsa still aren't working 
Probaly due to corrupted configuration files
alsa tells me: /usr/sbin/alsactl: load_state:1250: Cannot find soundcard '0'...
xorg gives me: Mouse1: cannot open input device
PreInit failed for input device "Mouse1"
No core pointer
Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices
could anybody tell me where to find these config files so I can fix them? |

in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mouse1"
change it in
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" |

min use mouse0
| Code: | Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" |
and yours? |

Thanks for your help polle, though reverting back to udev-070-r1 seems to have solved the problem.
Seems to be a problem with udev-079 which got released a few day ago.
EDIT: Trying udev-0.79-r1 right now... I ll let you know the results in a few min |
