RE: [gentoo-dev] /dev/shm/etc/mtab.sh: No such file or directory?

[Erik Van Reeth]

Hi,

I checked for these _cfg files, but no _cfg0000_checkroot file exists.
I do see that 2 baselayouts are/were installed, v1.6.1 from the build.tbz
and
during emerging upgraded to v1.6.2. Can this be related ?

TIA
Erik
