Ok, the fsck reported nothing wrong... I still got the same bug again... while doing `emerge -e @system`... It got stuck right after the ">>> Installing" line below...
Dale, I just checked my python version and it was already 2.6, i set it to 2.6 again, just in case, and continued my emerge (the ctrl-z + %% worked at this point). I'll reply here again with the next issue...
