the guest cannot execute any files at all. nor can it find them even with the
proper path given. if i just knew what could have happened within the emerge
of a binary program for this to occur..... it was working fine before this
and nothing had been installed/changed in approx month before this.

eron davin # chroot /vservers/davin /sbin/ldconfig -v
chroot: cannot run command `/sbin/ldconfig': No such file or directory

it cant find bash it cant find ls it cant access anything. same behavior as
when the guest was 'alive' before i stopped it. stopping it was error prone
too since it could not execute shutdown. it simply has lost the ability to
execute anything or find anything..

i tried comparing the libs but that seems useless too in a way since the host
and guest are vastly different in what is installed. the host is a full
featured workstation with literally hundreds of applications installed while
the guest is a minimal remote desktop server. ill try to make lists and
diff them and see what happens..
