after the update it asked me to emerge gradm.Code:~ # eselect kernel list Available kernel symlink targets: [1] linux-2.6.28-hardened-r7 [2] linux-2.6.28-hardened-r9 [3] linux-3.5.4-hardened-r1 * ~ # ls -al /usr/src/linux lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Oct 11 15:50 /usr/src/linux -> linux-3.5.4-hardened-r1

please could you advice further? I have a back up of my .config from r9.Last edited by midway; 10-11-2012 at 03:01 PM. Reason: more info

Now you need to build/compile your kernel, modules and do not forget to update your boot loader.

I promise you the kernel build will fail. Read the link I posted and see if it works for you.I do not respond to private messages asking for Linux help, Please keep it on the forums only.

Are you sure you need to mount /boot? Is /boot a separate partition? Use the fdisk command to see how your disk is partititoned.
Also show us your /etc/fstabCode:fdisk -l
Code:cat /etc/fstab

This is just a guess here but what file system is on that disk? It looks like xfs? Is xfs compiled into your kernel? What about the new one you just compiled? Originally Posted by midway strangely it doesn't show anything
