I can't help with your problem, but it's odd that I had something similar happen the other day. I was making a fresh installation of Gentoo on an oldish dual-Opteron box, booting rescue-CD and using two SATA disks with md RAID and LVM2. I'd spent the whole afternoon on this, as many steps are involved, and I'd eventually reached the installation of GRUB into /boot, when I got an error saying that /boot was mounted read-only. On investigating, I found that everything I'd put on those two disks had disappeared, as though in a puff of smoke. All that was left was the underlying partition layout, but with no content. Vanished, without trace, just like your kernel tree. I'm mystified. Oh well, just start again. So I sympathise with you in your frustration. -- Rgds Peter
