emerge --resume |

so long as you can still boot :) which you should be able to. |

Otherwise, you may have to live-cd, chroot, emerge --resume. |
| 8 |
DONT do any other emerge commands in between, otherwise it won't know |
| 9 |
where to resume. |

usually a "-p" to the emerge command you want to run will show you the |
| 15 |
order. If you do reconstruct it by hand, make sure you use "--oneshot" |
| 16 |
otherwise you'll put lots of entries you don't need into your world |
| 17 |
file. |

If you've updated the rest of your system to 3.4.5, then do the kernel |
| 24 |
as well. Especially if you have proprietary modules, like vmware, |
| 25 |
ati-drivers, etc; or extra modules like ndiswrapper. Make sure you |
| 26 |
compile these modules after you compile your kernel, but before you |
| 27 |
reboot. |

IMHO `emerge -e world` isn't generally necessary to update gcc. Have |
| 30 |
you read the gcc upgrade howto on the gentoo-wiki? |
