I sense your frustration! We've all been in a tight spot like this. |

Here's my suggestion: |

|
16 |
Don't allow X to start at boot time. When you see the grub boot menu, |
17 |
select the kernel you want to boot and press "e" for Edit. Then select |
18 |
the kernel command line and press "e" again to edit it. Add |
19 |
softlevel=nonetwork |
20 |
to the end of the line, press Enter and then B. You will then start up |
21 |
with a full set of six VTs (consoles), at which you can do the remerging |
22 |
that's been suggested. |

24 |
Personally, I'd do this: emerge -av1 `qlist -I -C x11-drivers` |
25 |
|
26 |
With any luck you'll then be able to reboot and run as usual. |
