OK so I ran emerge sync and emerge -uvDa world on my perfectly (for quite some
time) laptop. Looked like the usual set of minor files to upgrade. (including
udev). This morning, I looked and saw it said 23 config files needed
updating. Looked like a lot, and I did not want to be late for work. Upon
arriving at work and booting the laptop, grub somes up fine, the kernel loads
then it can't find any good ext3 filesystems on anything but the /dev/hdc2
that is mounted read only. Grub seems to be able to see it but nothing else.
fdisk /dev/hdc yeilds "unable to open /dev/hdc" but /dev/hdc2 is mounted at /
.
where do I go from here? This is really weird!
