sorry i havent been keeping up with the list as much as i should
so i dont know if this has been addressed or not.
i recently did an emerge -uD on my gentoo laptop, its been
several months since this has been done, it said that sysvinit
was blocking something from being installed, so i thought to
myself that the emerge would either install a new copy or it was
being replaced my another package, so i unmerged it to continue
with my emerge. well everything went great until i rebooted,
now all i get is a "sh#" prompt when it boots and when i try to
edit anything it says i only have a read only file system and i
cant change anything. is my system totally hosed? or is there a
way to recover from this? i would hope i dont have to reinstall
from scratch it took me a while to get this laptop going.
thanks for any and all help
Nick
you can try:
#mount -oremount,ro /
#etc-update
#reboot
be carefully with etc-update (or dispatch-conf)
good luck
