Changing the perms of /dev/console to 660 didn't help much. I do get "Populating /dev/with device nodes ..." (which I don't think I got before), but it still stops there. Is the boot process trying to unload a tarball or something that it might be choking on? RC_DEVICE_TARBALL is set to "yes", b

Actually, I spoke too soon. The change in perms did get it further in the boot process, but it complained about the special device /dev/sda1 (for /boot) not existing. But it continued... It seems to be stopped at "Caching service dependencies" now, but I will check /var/log/messages and /var/log

[gentoo-user] self-referential blocks...

2005-12-11 Thread Michael George
I am ready to update my system and a problem has crept up that I thought I'd solved previously. When I do an "emerge -Duva world", I get "kdebase is blocking konsole" and then later down the list I have "konsole is blocking kdebase". I understand that kde-base/kdebase is a monolithic package and

I use terminal from Xfce4. It's very much like gnome-terminal, which I like, but it appears to be much lighter. Next to that I just use plan ol' xterm when I don't need colors or tabs. It's about as light as you can get... If it makes a difference, I use ctwm as my window manager... On Tue, May
