[gentoo-amd64] Re: Systemd without migration

[mr_L4N]

I've add rescue in grub2 setting, same error with others many strange
problems, the last with resolv.conf. What's happens? I want to modify it to
add mine dns servers; open the file, modify it, but is impossible to save
because system says "file not exist".

BTW i want to repeat all the step from the first with a new installation,
only a question: why you emerge @world before the kernel? I always emerged
kernel before, but Probably isn't the better choice.

Thanks for your time, i hope to have early a System that works fine.

Regards.
