48 Thanks,

50 I decided to reboot (even though I unmerged pam-login) I was forced to
51 run fsck manually during boot and had alot of "orphaned inodes and tons
52 of other errors on the disk. Now it fails to start /etc/init.d/clock
53 and dies. Can't even boot!
54
55 This whole thing started in the middle of updating glibc, and that never
56 finished. I was trying to update "emerge -auvDN system" and about 1/2
57 hour into that, I got the first Read Only error...
58
59 I'm hosed with the whole thing. Does anyone know when gentoo 2007.1 will
60 be released?
61
62 thanks again for all the help!
