Hi, |
| 2 |
I'm having a big problem and can't get any help on IRC. |
| 3 |
emerge rsync |
| 4 |
emerge --pretend --update system |
| 5 |
Only one thing to upgrade - binutils to 2.13.90.0.18. |
| 6 |
emerge --update system |
| 7 |
Emerge went fine. |
| 8 |
emerge --pretend --update world |
| 9 |
emerge --update world |
| 10 |
Dies with host not found. I realize there's no network connection. |
| 11 |
ifconfig shows eth0 with the inet addr line missing. |
| 12 |
/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart |
| 13 |
It shuts down and won't restart. |
| 14 |
dmesg shows "eth0: 0 multicast blocks dropped" every time I try to |
| 15 |
start the network. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Our network uses dhcpcd if that gives any useful information. |
| 18 |
I can't see why binutils is affecting the network but it seems to be. |
| 19 |
I can't downgrade to a previous binutils because I cleared out |
| 20 |
/usr/portage/distfiles since the last time it was upgraded and I don't |
| 21 |
have a working network connection. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Any help that does not involve re-installing Gentoo would be greatly |
| 24 |
appreciated. |
| 25 |

Thanks, |
| 27 |
