Dear, |

I have yet again tried to upgrade my Xen software to a later version, |
| 4 |
which almost worked fine. Since I needed it fully working I have |
| 5 |
restored my original installation. Basically this is just using |
| 6 |
xfsrestore for / (root), dd to restore /boot. However I have left |
| 7 |
/usr/portage alone, as I considered it volatile (restorable with emerge |
| 8 |
--sync). |

|
| 10 |
However at this point portage does not seem to know what is actually |
| 11 |
installed and what is no longer available. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
For example: |
| 14 |
equery -i list | grep xen |
| 15 |
app-emulation/xen-3.1.2 |
| 16 |
app-emulation/xen-3.2.1 |
| 17 |
app-emulation/xen-tools-3.1.2 |
| 18 |
app-emulation/xen-tools-3.2.1 |
| 19 |
sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.20-r6 |
| 20 |
sys-kernel/xen-sources-2.6.21 |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
It seems that xfsrestore doesn't remove all existing files, but rather |
| 23 |
overwrites portions. How do I clean up my system again, as the state is |
| 24 |
rather corrupted at this point? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Before I forgot to ask, is there a LiveCD that actually includes |
| 27 |
xfsrestore? I'm missing it on the gentoo 2007 install CD. |
