Thanks Daniel Faulknor -- www.nzguydaniel.blogspot.com http://www.nzguydaniel.blogspot.com you are missing the agetty application that is described in your /etc/inittabfile. agetty belongs to sys-apps/util-linux, which you could reemerge byusing your livecd and doing the chroot thing like when you installed. either that or you are playing with a new kernel, and forgot to compile support forthe filesystem which /sbin is on.Consider that init calls inittab as soon as the kernel is up, so if it stops,you will probably only see a few lines from the kernel on screen and not much else... is this what you are experiencing?--furbling, v.: Having to wander through a maze of ropes at an airport or bank even when you are the only person in line. -- Rich Hall, Sniglets --gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing listI emerged it but it didnt help - i just restarted the computer and it didnt work - i hadnt done anything to it.

I have noticed the same thing, and no removin the symlink or reemerging xorg doesnt seem to work either Daniel Faulknor On 10/5/05, Matthias Langer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: By accident i recognized that the link /usr/X11R6/ conatains itself -leading to an infinite recursion, as hinted in the subject of this message ... I don't think that this is a problem, but i doubt that thisbehavour is intended. Maybe i should mention that this doesn't changeafter removing the symlink and reemerging xorg-x11-6.8.2-r4.Any comments, or should i file a bug ? --gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list-- www.dannz.net.nz
