I recently updated my Gentoo system, and after doing etc-update I rebooted.
Now, everything boots fine, except the system can't start net.lo.

Here is the error I'm getting:
Code:

/etc/init.d/net.lo: line 34: /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/: No such file or directory

...

find: /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/: No such file or directory
 *        no interface module has been loaded

...

/etc/init.d/net.lo: line 34: /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/functions: No such file or directory
find: /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/: No such file or directory
 *        no interface module has been loaded
/etc/init.d/net.wlan0: line 34: /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/helpers.d/functions: No such file or directory
find: /lib/rcscripts/net.modules.d/: No such file or directory
 *        no interface module has been loaded
 * ERROR:  cannot start netmount as net.lo could not start
 * ERROR:  cannot start ntp-client as net.lo could not start
 * ERROR:  cannot start ntpd as net.lo could not start


I must've discarded the changes for /etc/init.d/net.lo, because from what I've read in other threads it seems like I'm using an out-of-date version.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this, or possibly post the current net.lo so I can get my system back to normal?

What version of baselayout do you have installed? I've never run into net.lo failing, so can you get a usable system at all after boot? If so try re-emerging baselayout, as you should still have the tarball on the system. Of course, if networking is seriously screwed (i.e. the loopback interface is missing/misconfigured) all sorts of things may not work.

I have a usable system after boot, the only thing is networking is not usable, because it can't bring up net.lo.
I'll try re-emerging baselayout. It looks like the version I have installed is 1.12.6, and according to portage that's the most current version available.

EDIT:
No luck re-emerging :/

etc-update is your friend

Then ensure that all net.xxx scripts in /etc/init.d/ are symlinks to net.lo and not copies.
