If you can't sort out the mess manually, try emerge -e system, then emerge -e world. You can also save some time by substituting the above with emerge -eb system followed by emerge -ek world (this will skip a second build of the system set by using binary packages from the first build. If you have FEATURES=buildpkg, you should delete the contents of your binary package directory before starting). Although, depending on your hardware and on the contents of your wold file, just reinstalling the whole thing could be faster. andrea
