I guess you used a livecd to boot into your computer, and then chrooted into your existing environment?
Problem with the newest udev is that you need a kernel 2.6.15 or newer. And the reason why touch is complaining, is because you forgot to mount proc when you chrooted. If you're outside chroot: mount proc -t proc /mnt/gentoo/proc If you're inside chroot: mount proc -t proc /proc Then you're able to compile a new kernel :) /erik "Ryan Viljoen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > Hey all, > > I recently (yesterday) completed an emerge sync and then emerge world. > I rebooted my PC today and my system failed to come up.
