Emerge world, system borked

I just did an "emerge world" a while ago to update my system. Apparently that's now how you do it. Part of the way through, C++ programs stopped compiling. I already had GCC 3.4.3 installed, so that wasn't updated. They started complaining about not finding a c++ lib in /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3-2005011. I had /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3, so I just made a symbolic link to it and it worked. Why was it looking for /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3-2005011 and not/usr /lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3?

Anyway, rebooted.
My kernel said it coulden't find udev or devfs, "what" I thought. Rebooted a kernel with devfs, since my other was for udev.
I boot, gentoo starts to try to make symbolic links to /usr/lib of stuff in /dev. It obviously can't because the system is still in readonly mode, and why is it doing THAT. I reboot again back to the kernel without devfs.

Coulden't find libreiser4-someversion.so.2. Shoulden't it be looking for .so? Threw me into maint mode, reemerged reiserfsprogs. Rebooted, managed to start up but it still complains about udev/devfs not existing. ps -A shows udev rightAthere, and /dev appears to be working. Where did I go wrong? I can post logs/other configs if necessary. Also, I don't know if it's relevent but I'm not using gentoo's ebuilds for my kernel. I just downloaded/patched them manually and put them in /usr/src and linked it to "/usr/src/linux".

OK, just try a new Fresh installl, it will be better, its very borked , and the time you will spent solving it you should install it faster

I'm already back on the box I borked. It's still somewhat borked, as in giving that bizzare-o udev/devfs error message, but there's too much stuff on my HD to just reinstall from scratch. How much damage could I have actually done? I'm posting from KDE/firefox.

I have it all seemingly fixed, except when I boot it says the init scripts have detected that my system doesn't support udev/devfsd. This just started saying this recently. Any reason?

u have to use a script when updating glibc or gcc[/url]
heres the script
i just ran it today, before that i asked about getting a new version and u have to use this cause it has to keep recomipiling the toolchain with new version of glibc (first glibc using the new glibc, then gcc with new glibc, then glibc with gcc that supports the new glibc... i think

)

What options did you run it with? -wte?
