Thanks for your response
I have not ran 'etc-update' in this test.
You did not? So, this must be your first reboot since installing gentoo.
No, this Gentoo box has been running several months for test purpose. It has been idle for a period. Last week I started
# emerge -u world
(Remark: I operated all commands on Konsole window after login as USER on KDE desktop and then 'su -')
Because this is a slow machine it took about 6 x 24 hrs to complete. Finally it ended up as follows;
......
......
extensions/libipt_ROUTE.c: In function `init':
extensions/libipt_ROUTE.c:51: error: structure has no member named `flags'

make: *** [extensions/libipt_ROUTE_sh.o] Error 1
!!! ERROR: net-firewall/iptables-1.2.9 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 53, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message)
Then I ran
# emerge sync # emerge -u world (again)
But it returned to the same situation again.
Repeat chapter 7 from the installation guide at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml, chroot as described in chapter 8 and edit /etc/fstab as described in chapter 15.
I am not quite familiar with rescue on Gentoo. I shall do follows;
1) boot up the Gentoo box with the rescue diskette 2) mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo 3) mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot 4) mount t proc proc /mnt/gentoo/proc 5) chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash 6) nano -w /mnt/gentoo/etc/fstab (to edit 'fstab')
OR omitting step 4)
Kindly advise. TIA
One thing I could not resolve why I can login as ROOT without password. If key in ROOT password then it says wrong password
