Hi group,
Going through a rough patch after a world update. The SD card on my
netbook doesn't get mounted, ext2 filesytem not found etc. I've had
this problem before which I traced to the lack of support for SD cards
in the kernel. This time it's something else. Nothing wrong with the
fs, it can be checked and mounted manually. Device-mapper is not in
the world file but does exist in /etc/init.d and can be started and
stopped OK. When I use it I get messages in the boot console of being
incompatible with my baselayout-1.
So, I try to unmerge it, but of course portage claims I don't have it.
And if I try to emerge it, the new version is blocked by the version
I'm supposed ot have?!
I assume emerge can't install because of some files lying arround from an
earlier install?
Then you can just remove/rename these files.
A quick word of advice: If you send some related messages (e.g. from emerge)
within your mail it's easier to help.
