yes..that does seem to be the issue.....when i boot from the cd and then chroot to my system partition and use 'mount', it errors out with "mount: /lib/libc.so.6 : version "GLIBC_2.3.3' not found (required by mount)". So that'd be my problem....as the latest stable release of 'glibc' is 2.3.2
now for the really stupid questions.....how do i recompile 'mount'? i've looked around on packages.gentoo.org and tried reemerging coreutils...but that didn't seem to do it... also...i looked at the man page for emerge...and i didn't see anything that looked like "rebuild"-ing. I dont mind having my computer sit for a day or two recompiling the entire system...but I just can't figure out how to make emerge recompile everything Thanks for the help, Brendan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jason Stubbs" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2003 8:33 AM Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] Booting Issues > On Tuesday 16 December 2003 23:15, Brendan Sullivan wrote: > > Ok, this is being pretty hard for me to pin down... > > > > I had accidentally updated "world" with the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" flag > > set...
