1 I ran into the same problem but I could get a root prompt. I found that
2 a number of /etc/init.d/scripts and some of the portage support scripts
3 contained lines like this:
4
5 local -a umods=()
6
7 or something like that. It seems the new 3.1 bash does not like the
8 =() syntax. I just removed the =() from the ones I found causing reboot
9 problems, at least until I got my network link back. Then I masked out
10 the new version and reverted to the previous version.
