I've never seen anything like it. It seems like bash or the python script that filters the environment is misbehaving, either due to some hardware or software corruption. Rebuild bash and python to see if that helps. If that doesn't help, extract a stage3 somewhere and chroot into it, as if you're doing a fresh install. Run emerge -e system in there to see if you experience the same problem in the chroot. If you can reproduce the problem inside the chroot then it has to be related to your hardware or your kernel. (In reply to comment #4) Unfortunate for me I still get the error inside the chroot, so I guess I have to go out and get some new hardware. |
