Hmm ... time for fsck and 'smartctl -t long' in case you have a fs or drive
problem?
Honestly, I was thinking the same thing. It got warm today so I shut
the rig down. I'm about to reboot it. May start the test. I think
that hard drive is like 160GB or something.
Fixing that seems to have it working again. I'm
not sure why eselect can't set it tho. I may still have something set
wrong somewhere.
Did you perchance uninstall app-admin/eselect? I think eselect profile is not
a separate eselect module.
I can't imagine why I would. I admit, I did unmerge a ton of QT and KDE
packages, plus Seamonkey and Gimp. I didn't unmerge any system type
packages tho. Most of what I unmerged was GUI related packages. What
confused me tho, it was complaining about python exec or something. I
think that was in the original post. That was confusing as all that was
installed. Python had to be working because emerge was working. I seem
to recall emerge being a python based command.
About to restart and see if it goes any further. Biggest problem is I'm
running low on /var space. You might recall, for some reason the file
system won't enlarge after expanding the LVM space. Yea, that rig.
Part of me is thinking about reinstalling it again. It is a really old
install. It could use some rearranging file system/partition wise.
