today my hd crashed and i was unable to boot properly. with the help of an "emerge -e system"
most of the things work now. one problem is left:

I found that when this happens to me an
usually fixes the problem.
If that does not work, definitely try the above...

thanks guys. i tried both.
but sadly it did not help... 
could it be that something in /etc/profile is broken?
EDIT:
emerging portage gives a similar error:

For that I believe we will need more info. Being that I have not installed a wireless driver in gentoo in over 2 years and I do not currently have any wireless cards this will be difficult for me to help you with. My first question is when you type ifconfig does the wireless card show up as an interface? If not is the ipw driver loaded? You can check that with lsmod. I believe the driver starts with ipw. If not can you run the following command and see if the driver exists:

Okay, sorry for my late answer but i was really busy today.
| Code: |
thrall ~ # lsmod | grep ipw
ipw3945 98272 0
ieee80211 26440 1 ipw3945
|
so now i try to tell you how things got bad:
1. i did something very harmful for my system:
while the computer was going to "suspend to disk" mode (suspend2 sources) i pressed the power off button.
i did this because the system did not respond at all (black screen) after coming from suspend mode.
so i pressed the power button for 5 seconds but as i started to press it, the suspend procedure began.
2. at reboot there were some errors while checking the disk (/ (ext3), /home (ext3)). so i had to manually run fsck.
while doing this i had to repair MANY inode entries and stuff. after doing this i rebooted.
3. this time there were a LOT of error messages at boot time. so i booted a livecd to check my disk again.
fsck told me there were no errors.
4. i dont know exactly how i figured it out but i realized that /etc/profile was seriously damaged.
i made a backup of it and booted the livecd again (2005.1 min). then i replaced my /etc/profile with the one on the livecd.
you can find the backup and the current version here (with a .txt appended).
5. i rebooted and suprisingly there were some fewer errors (mostly about kernel modules that coudl not be found)
and i got onto a login console. i recompiled my kernel + modules and ran modules-update -f. no more kernel module errors.
6. i did an emerge --sync, emerge -e system, and an emerge -e world. most of the packages installed fine but ipw3945d refuses to.
i hope that i remembered all the steps i went through but i think thats it. if you need more information/config files etc. please tell me.
thanks you...
EDIT another question (though i guess the answer is no): is it possible/recommended to extract a recent stage3 tarball to overwrite possibly damaged files?

Can you post the output of
Also after reemerging your system did you run either conf-update or dispatch-conf ?

Definitely not with the 2005.1 disk as it certainly cause you problems as anything emerged after 2005.1 was released will be downgraded to that version without telling portage or updating the system in a clean manner.

ccache was enabled during emerge system but i disabled it to test whether it may cause troubles...
and yes, i did run etc-update. with a recent snapshot i meant "stage3-x86-2006.1.tar.bz2" which is available via the mirrors and 2006.1 livecd.

There will still be problems when versions of a package are not the same as the one that portage thinks is installed and the biggest problem will be glibc as the 2006.1 cd has glibc-2.4. Downgrading glibc will certainly break a lot of things that are not in the stage3.

problems with my world file. however if i run the following nothing changes:
| Code: |
thrall ~ # emaint --check world
Checking world for problems
Finished
thrall ~ # emaint --fix world
Attempting to fix world
Finished

maybe it could help if you have a look at my world file. i will upload it, too.
i cant figure out, where a problem could be...
you can find it (like the /etc/profile) here.

That KeyError is thrown because some IOError occurs when accessing the directory located at '/var/db/pkg/net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4'. You need to fix whatever filesystem or disk corruption is there.

I think i found a solution (at least for the ipw3945d program). '/var/db/pkg/net-wireless/ipw3945d-1.7.22-r4' was a _file_ instead of a directory. Removing it did help. The package emerged fine. Wireless is back to work.
Thank you all for your hints and tips. I certainly will reinstall next week. Maybe there are some other things broken, so lets stay on the safe side.
