Okay where to start.
I guess I will start by mentioning I did an emerge system a few days ago in a screen but never looked at the results, b/c I haven't had a chance to. I am looking at it right now. Then yesterday I come home to find out we have lost power and my machine was turned off. I boot it up grup works fine and then upon starting gentoo the init shit just fails. It isn't loading modules, so nvidia is throwing error, i have no network and none of my sound is working.
I try to re-emerge nforce-net from a pkg i made, and the network still doen'st work b/c it isn't loading modules. I go into the source for the kernel (2.6.6) and try to rebuild the kernel, make works fine, but make modules_install fail miserable and mentions something about I might need to install module-init-tools. I look and it is installed. I have 3.0-r2 installed. I look in my distfiles and see I have the 3.0 tarball so I emerge that and reboot, my sound modules are loaded and so is the nvidia module. But still no nvnet. So I try to modprobe it and it is says no module found, I look in the kernel-2.6.6/drivers/net and sure enough it isn't there. I re-emerge the nforce-net and notice it is putting the nvnet.ko file in the 2.6.3 kernel. I look my my /usr/src/linux symlink and it is pointing to the 2.6.6 kernel and I uname -r displays 2.6.6. So I boot the livecd and chroot into my /dev/hda3 and emerge nforce-net there, it works. So now I boot up and I have a sound, graphics and network, but I am still having lots of problems. Let me list out the problems I am having
1) I can't mount /boot , I have tried using the fstab and the command manulay I get the same error either way | Code: | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
or too many mounted file systems |
that isn't too big of deal, b/c I don't need in there at the moment and grub can read it, /dev/hda1 is a ext3 partition. I also had some trouble with my /dev/hda3 and that when I run fsck on , it doesn't compelete and errors out, I have tried running several commands on it but nothing can seem to fix it, but yet I can still read it.
2) Firefox won't start, it says something about unspecified something or other with the file /lib/MozillaFirefox/compenents/libgk something or other. I am not at my house so I am not sure on the exact message or file.
3) when I try to emerge sync, I am getting errors saying that about 10-15 files that root doens't have permission to read or change them. As root I try to chown -R root /usr/portage, same error on the same files. So I cna't emerge sync, which sucks. i tried to re-emerge portage and it worked fine, but I just can't acces these files. | Code: | recv_generator: mkdir "/usr/portage/dev-perl/Archive-Tar/files" failed: Permission denied

and since it can't update these files emerge just loops through the sync process giving the same erors.
That is all I have found wrong with my system as of now. I am sure there are going to be more problems. I am going to be trying to back up my system as soon as i can to make sure I don't lose my data, I have over 82 gig of media files I don't care to lose.
Any advice out there?
Edit: I just found another error, samba is broke, I can't mount windows shares I am getting this error. | Code: | /sbin/mount.smbfs: error while loading shared libraries: /sbin/mount.smbfs: unsupported version 0 of Verneed record

It sounds like the power outage may have foobar'ed a lot of packages on your system (possibly the hard drive itself). First thing I would do is boot off the Gentoo cd and run fsck from there. If everything turns out to be OK, try to re-emerge system. Also, try reinstalling module-init-tools, since it yelled at you about that. I wouldn't worry about emerge sync just yet...make sure the system works first. 
Also, make sure the "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS..." line is commented out (or deleted) of your make.conf before emerging system again.

I have already emerge module-init-tools, that is what fixed my system to get me into it.
I have ran fsk on /dev/hda1 and it finishes with no errors. if I run fsck on /dev/hda3, it goes and then says it can't rebuild the tree or something. I will post the exact message when i get home b/c you can't run fsck on a mounted /dev with +rw.
I will also try to rememerge the system using x86 and not ~x86

Okay this is getting really weird, it turns out my /dev/hda1 is ext2. i would of bet money that it was ext3, but I did a | Code: | | mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /boot |
and then I ran and it shows it mounted as a ext2 partittion and I can read everything in it.
I am really confused as to why this is.
anyways, I have gotten everything else to work, I had to re-emerge firefox and samba to get them working. the only thing left to tackle is why emerge can't read those few directories and files.

I would make sure /usr/portage is owned by portage: | Code: | | # chown -R portage /usr/portage |
I would think this will fix it for you.

I would try deleing the whole /usr/portage directory and emerge sync again. This will (hopefully) fix the permission issues.

I got a fix for it. Since I could move the delete or see the files. I just move the folders dev-lisp and dev-perl to dev-lisp-corrupt and dev-perl-corrupt.
The move went fine and I was able to run emerge sync without any errors.
