I somehow screwed up my new and shiny box. Everything ran fine until yesterday I depcleaned a bit too much, as it seems.
The symptom: booting sits there and openrc has many services waiting for other services ... the first one seems to be mdraid ... but I am not sure. I already chrooted into the installation and did "emerge -e system" and "revdep-rebuild" and stuff. "emerge -avuDN world" doesn't work for me, as I don't want to pull in gnome-3.x right now ... As far as I know everything (system) is now built with gcc-4.5.3 ... so that shouldn't be the problem. The raid-arrays (md0 for root) assemble correctly from live-cd, so what could be the problem? What should I explore now? *sigh* lvm2? Should be part of @system? Will look for that now ... Thanks for any help on this, Stefan
