Gentoo is...broken (Solved)

**lakerdonald** · 05-03-2005

I don't know what the hell happened, but I've broken Gentoo.
Whenever I enter any command, it just returns the output and hangs, not letting me do anything else. I've tried booting with init=/bin/bash but it's still borked. The only thing I can think of is that I emerged glibc a couple hours before it started, but it seemed to come right out of the blue. Any ideas?

You emerged glibc? The ~x86 version? If so it's untested and may have something to do with the problem, maybe boot up a livecd, mount the partitions, chroot into the enviroment and re-emerge glibc (the tested x86-version)

Thats the only thing I can think of for the moment...

That's one thing even I'd never do:
merge a masked glibc. haha

Please don't laugh, I did

(I sat the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in /etc/make.conf on a stage1-install, and yeah, glibc would'nt compile

)

Yeah, yeah... You learn by failing

Sounds like it really was a matter of bash being borked. zsh worked fine
I just tried replacing this version of /bin/bash with one from another partition on my hdd, and it works :P

I've run ~x86 for the longest time. The only thing that I remember breaking due to this was binutils...that happened with the versions just before I switched to x86_64.

/me shrugs.

I'll run anything ~x86 except for gcc/binutils/etc.
