A missing File after changin Kernel

[IcEonFirE]

Hi

I changed my Kernel-2.4.26 to Kernel-2.6.8-gentoo-r7. After configuring everythin, I booted my System but while the process, A message appears:The file libacl.so.1 is not found.

How to solve this

P.S: I am not sure if it's because of the new Kernel but the thing is that I execute emerge depclean command after installing my new kernel, so I doubt that is because of that

Any Idea Please ?

I suppose you've installed gentoo from stage3, right? Because stage3 includes acl as a USE flag, although it's not in your make.conf. Therefore, when you executed emerge depclean, ucl got unmerged, while lot's of programs now depend on it.

So, do you still have the old 2.4 kernel? If so, boot this one, and then add acl to your make.conf USE flags and do a 'emerge -uD world'. Another way is to just 'emerge acl'. Both ways will reinstall acl.

If you can't boot any kernel, you could always use a Gentoo minimal Live CD and chroot into your linux partition.

Finally, it could be that emerging acl failes because emerge too needs acl. In that case, try to download a stage3 file (either using a working kernel on you hard disk, or the Live CD) and extract only the libacl.so.1 file (from /lib). Copy it to your hard disk and then re-emerge acl.

Well, I guess that's it. Hope it works!

Hi Roog

Thanks a lot for the replying.
By the Way I tried to emerge acl but it failed because of the files is missing. Another thing, when I chroot to my installation ant did env-update i receive a message as scripts are missing (or something like that). Is it ok if I use the stage-3 from my Live CD or I must download the new one from Gentoo Server?

I already sort of expected emerge wouldn't work without acl. Anyway, you can use both stage3 files: it doesn't matter. Just copy the library files your system reports to be missing to your /lib directory and until you've managed to recompile acl, ignore all warnings.
