 |
|
Hi,
This morning I updated my system,
First I did:
This said that I have to update portage so I did:
| Code: | | emerge --update portage |
Then I did:
| Code: | | emerge --update system |
and
| Code: | | emerge --update world |
This said that I have a lot of config file that need updating, so I did:
And updated every file.
Everything worked fine until I halted my system and booted again. during the boot up it stopt a couple of seconds at
| Code: | | * starting pci hotplug |
and than it gives this error around the 10 times:
| Code: | missing kernel or user mode drivers e100
... can't load module e100 |
Then xdm starts and when I try to log in I get a menu: "session menu" When I click at failsave it stops (black screen). so I can't start x. I can switch to console but the network doesn't work too anymore, when I try ssh david@host it says network unreachable.
I hope I didn't blew up my system :s
Any help is very appreciated.. I cant do anything at the moment (typing this message at my brothers computer)
Thanks in advance,
David |

by "updated", do you mean that you replaced all old configs with the newer versions for every file? this would certainly explain lots of things breaking..

Thanks for the reply!
I nearly replaced them all, the only one I knew I didnt had to replace was fstab, the rest of them I didn't know what they where so'I replaced them...
But if etc-update really replace them I am getting the idee I did do something really stupids  I thoug etc-update would convert the files to the new format while keeping the old info. |

it does that where it can, e.g. there have only been "comment" changes.. but most of the time it does not.
it's basically a case of reconfiguring now. go back to the installation guide and set up your network again. same with X.
also remember to configure some things in /etc/rc.conf
see how you go there

Okay, good to hear that, that means the only thing I need to do is reconfigurering some files. (and not reinstalling my entire system  )
Is the error during the boot also a configuration fault? do you know in which configuration file this is?
I will start reconfigurering tommorow morning (its now very late here) |

the error in your boot is relating to a network device (intel E100 or similar).
i'm a bit confused over the state of drivers for this card - there is a "usermode" driver which you can emerge, but there is also a driver in the kernel for these devices. i'm not sure which is better, or anything like that, but as soon as you have configured your network to how it was before, that mesage should disappear.
