I booted using the LiveCD/DVD and performed the following using konsole:
- Code: Select all
su
vgchange -a y
mkdir -p /mnt/sabayon
mount /dev/vg_titanic/lv_root /mnt/sabayon (my root partition)
mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/sabayon/boot (sda3 is my boot partition)
mount -t proc none /mnt/sabayon/proc
mount -o bind /dev /mnt/sabayon/dev
chroot /mnt/sabayon /bin/bash
env-update
source /etc/profile
export PS1="(chroot) $PS1"
cp /proc/mounts /etc/mtab
I then attempted equo update. It failed. Even while my browser connection to this site worked, something in the chroot process lacked the capability to find a route to any equo package servers. I'm not an IP guru, so I went and found out the IP addresses for both pkg.sabayon.org and mirror.umd.edu and entered those hostnames and IP addresses into /etc/hosts. I then ran "equo update" and it worked. Two packages were updated. I then ran "equo deptest". This is what was printed to the konsole window:

This is a desktop system that does not use wireless. However, I suppose this missing package could cause issues during boot. I then executed "equo libtest". This is what was output to konsole:

(chroot) localhost etc #
I should mention that according to grub, it is likely that the kernel I am running is x86_64-3.8.0-sabayon, and the proprietary video drivers I am using are consistent with that kernel. I haven't updated the kernel or proprietary video drivers since I was able to get the system to work. If you believe that I should back out the proprietary drivers, I'm hoping you can point me to a link to a HOWTO cookbook. Furthermore, I'm running multiple monitors with an AMD/ATI Radeon 7770, and I don't want to take a performance hit if I drop the proprietary drivers. However, I desperately need system stability. I've been running Sabayon Linux on multiple platforms since before Sabayon 5, and it's been rock solid until the last four months, during which time I've struggled with productivity-killing issues.
Thank you again very much.
