Ok I did two very stupid things as an early birthday present

[Appleman1234]

Hi everyone,

I did two very stupid things while attempting to fix a /lib symlink.
First of all I unlinked it in a su shell and hence couldn't use busybox.static.
Second I pulled out my gentoo livecd and accidently forgot the /mnt/gentoo scope and moved all of /lib or /lib64 in the ram and then accidently restarted my machine.

So now I have no valid /lib. I can't boot my machine, I can't chroot (I think) and copying /lib or /lib64 from the gentoo livecd.

My options are backup and reinstall and hope that by tommorow (my birthday) I at least have links and an internet connection. (posting this from brother's laptop)

Or somehow obtain and restore enough of /lib so my system boots and revdep-rebuild can fix the rest , any ideas or suggestions ?

Thanks for your time,

UPDATE: I managed to get the livecd to chroot using sh from busybox despite pam lib errors, I can now login in as root normally and am running revdep-rebuild and wondering howto generate modules.dep

[Wormo]

use 'depmod' utility to generate modules.dep

I did, but it didn't let me, I had to recompile my kernel and then use depmod.

I just have to wait for the revdep-rebuild to finish.

Thanks

UPDATE: Back to normal, I no longer dislike chroots
