This is the worrisome line. First, could you confirm if you did the full complete portage steps while migrating: - tweak USE, profile etc etc - emerge -avUND world - emerge -av @preserved-rebuild - emerge --depclean - revdep-rebuild [seldom necessary these days, I usually do it out of habit...] Let's first establish if portage reckons the system is consistent before trying to track down why your session segfaults -- Alan McKinnon [email protected]
