This is true. After booting from a CD, chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash does not work. > If you have a binary glibc package, then you could untar it into > /mnt/gentoo while booted from the CD.

Indeed the solution was to build glibc-2.6.1.tbz2 with quickpkg on another machine (luckily I had one) and scp into the damaged machine when booted from the CD. Then copying all the files into their respective places inside /mnt/gentoo/... Also need to check symbolic links etc. Not a pleasant work. Then chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash finally works. After that, an emerge of glibc solves the problem. Thanks for the inputs. -- Valmor -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
