Okay. Hmm... Which version of bash are you using? You're running |
| 8 |
stable so it should be 3.1. But I would have thought that the |
| 9 |
problem you're seeing is caused by 3.2. If you're using 3.2, |
| 10 |
then simply try setting PS1="\h \W \$ " and see if the problem is |
| 11 |
gone. If so, downgrade to bash-3.1 and wait for 3.2 to get fixed. |

Stop GRUB when in its booting menu, then type E to temporarily |
| 18 |
change the line that boots Gentoo, type a space and a 1 at the end, |
| 19 |
and then boot that line. You have to fiddle a bit, needing to type |
| 20 |
E twice, then add " 1", then Escape, then B -- I don't remember |
| 21 |
exactly. |

But you don't need to do this as you've already found that the |
| 27 |
problem is in bash and it's related to something in the environment. |
| 28 |
If the PS1 didn't fix it, try with either just --norc or just |
| 29 |
--noprofile to try and narrow things down further. |
