Ok, trying to do an "emerge -Du world" because my distro is pretty old package-wise. However, I'm now getting the following error at startup:

* Starting lo
 *     iproute2 does not support the required function provides
 * Starting wlan0
 *     adsl does not support the required function provides
 *     apipa does not support the required function check_installed
 *     arping does not support the required function provides
 *     bonding does not support the required function provides
 *     bridge does not support the required function provides
 *     dhclient does not support the required function provides
 *     dhcpcd does not support the required function provides
 *     essidnet does not support the required function check_installed
 *     ifconfig does not support the required function provides
 *     ifplugd does not support the required function provides
 *     ip6to4 does not support the required function check_installed
 *     ipppd does not support the required function provides

 *     iwconfig does not support the required function provides
 *     macchanger does not support the required function check_installed
 *     macnet does not support the required function check_installed
 *     netplugd does not support the required function provides
 *     pppd does not support the required function provides
 *     pump does not support the required function provides
 *     rename does not support the required function check_installed
 *     system does not support the required function check_installed
 *     tuntap does not support the required function provides
 *     udhcpc does not support the required function provides
 *     vlan does not support the required function provides
 *     wpa_supplicant does not support the required function provides
 *       no interface module has been loaded

This causes lo not to be brought up, which causes all sorts of problems with services that need to run, for example cups. In fact, none of my net.{iface} scripts will run. They all fail with the same error. I can start them manually, but this is not preferred. I'm additionally, ever since the upgrade, getting the following error message when logging in as "su":

configuration error - unknown item 'FAILLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'LASTLOG_ENAB' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'MOTD_FILE' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'FTMP_FILE' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'ENV_ROOTPATH' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'PASS_MIN_LEN' (notify administrator)
configuration error - unknown item 'CHFN_AUTH' (notify administrator).

This happens consistently.

You didn't update /etc/init.d/net.lo with etc-update

Or this is a dupe of bug #74723
