Any of you that were in #gentoo-amd64 last night you know the fiasco I had to go through installing the new glibc in portage, otherwise here is a list of the problems I was having and am having.
It somehow deleted the symlink from /lib to /lib64
PAM got corrupted some how, which I beleve had to do with the above
After fixing the symlink, Klugeflang (sp?) suggested I re-bootstrap, which I did, and then emerge -e world. Well this has caused several SEVERE problems.
No processes will end. They run, and when they are supposed to end, the don't. They just become defunct, and refuse to die, even with kill, and killall.
For some reason the defunt processes make both of my CPUs go to 100% usage, and I've had load raitings in the 10-15 range, which is insane. I tried to reboot, but X refuses to start now saying its lacking a keyboard (wtf?), and if I log in at a console window after one command (ls, ps, emerge, etc) it sticks. The only way I'm able to see whats going on is to get to an unused console and use top. The only way I've been able to kill a running process is to kill it with signal 1 (login).
PLEASE HELP! I'm really screwed here!
