if the reset worked what is the problem? Did you mount it on / or something? What do you really want Gentoo to do? I think mounting an extended partition should not hangup my system but should generate a pretty error message calling me a fool, wanting to mount an extended partition. I did not mount it on / , i mounted it on /tmp its hard to say weither mount or another application caused your system to hangup. To get the util-linux (package that provides mount) fixed we need your util-linux version and some testcase that proves it still at fault (including on the latest version of util-linux). Mounting to somewhere other than /tmp would also be good as other applications that use tmp may of freezed because of the inability to write to it/and or existing files/sockets open on it. Either way this is something that should be fixed upstream. well, here you go: root@jieter jieter # emerge search util-linux Searching...
