 |
|
Hello - I messed up the gentoo installation when I added pgo use flag globally to the make.conf and the bash recompilation failed and since then I'm unable to run any commands on the system.
I chrooted using livecd and mounted the file systems again by following the wiki and yet, any commands I run, gets aborted.
Do I have to reinstall or is it salvageable at this point ?
| Code: |
livecd ~ # chroot /mnt/gentoo/
livecd / # emerge --sync
Aborted
livecd / # emerge --sync
Aborted
livecd / # pwd
/
livecd / # cd /etc
livecd /etc # ls -l
Aborted
livecd /etc # ls -al
Aborted
|
Is there any thing that I can do to recover ? |

It might be easier to reinstall. It looks like you built your executables in some way such that they can't be run... does 'dmesg' say anything (exit out of the chroot first) -- it may tell some more details why it decided to abort.

That should be harmless, even if its mostly not useful.
Adding a USE flag and finding it breaks your system is a bug. I'm not convinced we are looking at cause and effect here.
We need to know what broke to fix it, dmesg may show that.
Yes, it can be fixed but not by guesswork. The method is to untar a binary package over the broken package.
Binary packages are essentially single package stage3 tarballs.
The trick is discovering which package you need.
