THe problem wasn't with grub, but with portage. I did manage to fix it by: # cd / # tar -jxvf /usr/portage/sys-apps/portage/files/portage-rescue-2.0.47-r10-x86.tbz2 # emerge sync # emerge -u portage # etc-update # env-update # emerge grub All is well now. I'd be curious to know if the above steps were even close to standard practices for recovering a corrumpted emerge system. Thanks, -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
