I don't think that (by itself) is going to help anything. The OP umerged sysvinit. That means he's missing a pretty important file: /sbin/init. When it can't find /sbin/init, the kernel tries /etc/init, /bin/init, and finally /bin/sh (so that recovery can be attempted). This is what happened. Fortunately, this shouldn't be too hard to fix. # /bin/mount -oremount,rw / # /bin/mount -a # . /etc/profile # emerge sysvinit should work. -- electronerd -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
