Hi Nox,

Thanks for your response.

Hi Ernie,

Thanks for your response.  I have not ran 'etc-update' in this test.

I ran

# emerge -u world

ending up with following warning and exited 'emerge -u world'

This warning appeared before and I could not fixed it (I have posted 
this problem on Gentoo forum but without a solution)

I ran  '# emerge -u world'  on Konsole window.  Login as USER on KDE 
desktop first, started Konsole window and then 'su -' as ROOT

I rebooted on Konsole window but could not start Gentoo.  As I recalled, 
before rebooting, I tried to start another Konsole window on KDE 
desktop, it popup 'hostname not found......' and I could not 'su -'

Hello,

I think that you overwrite some of your /etc files.

To su - verify that you're in the group wheel in /etc/group

for hostname problem re-edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts.conf

If you can repopulate /etc with a backup it should be great for you but if not reedit one by one your /etc files.

Don't know what you've done but it seems there's a problem.

Verify your CONFIG_PROTECT variable

Another folk on the list also ran into the same situation similar to my 
case:

Could not 'su -' after running 'emerge -u world'

I doubt whether 'upgrading betagenkernel' has influence.  IIRC I saw 
upgrading it on the screen.

B.R.
Stephen
