Description Vano Beridze 2003-10-16 12:16:07 UTC
Hello
Today I ran
emerge sync
emerge -U world

I've got ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86

glibc,gcc,baselayout updated to the latest versions.

When I rebooted, Gentoo fails to load

It has seg fault when running devfsd
/sbin/rc line 360 152 Segmentation Fault

and after that it says
that It cannot mount my ext3 partition
because the superblock is corrupt.

I have a dual boot system and from windows 2000 I can access my ext3 partitions
without a problem, so there is no hardware issue. I think that baselayout has 
some bug.

I can not boot into the gentoo.
How can I fix this problem if there is a solution for it?

did you overwrite your configs without checking ?
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2003-10-16 20:14:27 UTC
when you boot the kernel use 'init=/bin/bash' and then when you log in try
re-emerging baselayout and make sure you update config files
Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-17 00:16:34 UTC
Its probably related to the glibc update ?
Comment 4 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-10-26 09:19:46 UTC
Any news yet ?  Did you try a different kernel maybe ?
Comment 5 Vano Beridze 2003-10-27 00:27:37 UTC
I logged in with bash and reemerged baselayout. It did not fix the issue.

It is my development machine and I had not time to play with the issue.
So I reinstalled gentoo. 

I think it's my fault to have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86' in my /etc/make.conf.
Anyways I feel disappointed with the fact that after emerge -Up world my
machine became unusable. This is a drawback of living on the edge. 

I will close the issue because there will be no further comments from me.
And I will never have ~x86 in my ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.

Using ~x86 is risky, but likely there is some other issue causing your problem.
 All of my gentoo machines run unstable, and have had no issues so far that
makes the machine unusable.
