Do I need to do these operations from chroot? You don't say if the kernel is compiled locally or if you use something like '-march=native' compiling everything. If you do then the simplest fix is (assuming you don't have it all glommed onto one partition) is just do a fresh install on a new /root + /var LV and mount the old stuff. The baseline stage3, mount your existing non-stage LV's, build a kernel, then "emerge @world" isn't that much hands-on time. If you are using a generic kernel with separate LV's then just skip compiling a new kernel. If you are using a single partition for all of it then consider this an excellent time to use LV's for managing it going forward. -- Steven Lembark Workhorse Computing lemb...@wrkhors.com +1 888 359 3508
