Please note that he is booting his system from a rescue floppy, therefore booting into single user mode. Boot into the live CD. Run e2fsck on your hda1 and hda2. Do the chroot routine. Edit the /etc/fstab and change the /dev/BOOT to your real device (/dev/hda1) and change the /dev/ROOT to your real root device (/dev/hda3). Same with the /dev/SWAP (/dev/hda2 most likely). Make sure the filesystem type is what you formatted them as. e.g. reiser, ext2, ext3, etc. Make sure your grub or lilo correct. Then you can run # passwd root to enter your root password. If you already ran useradd, then run # passwd enter your username here Then remove the floppy and/or the live CD and try to reboot to your hard drive system. -- Johnny Sistumz injunear -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] HELP: Problem in rebooting after running 'emerge -u world'
Hi Christoph, 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.
