My Gentoo system won't boot after the initial installation.
The bootsequence hangs at
Code:
IO Scheduler cfq registred (default)
some claim it has something to do with ASUS boards, but some ppl have gotten it to work fine...
So, here are my system specs:
ASUS M2N4-SLI
AMD Athlon64 X2 3800+
1G RAM Dane-Elec
ASUS EN7300GT Silent
Anyone here that can help me out? maybe a specific kernel option?
I don't mind rebuilding Gentoo again... it wouldn't be the first time this week
I'm using the minimal installation CD, all boots fine and works up to the reboot. Then all goes horribly wrong... horrible enough for me to require to boot to Windows to post this.
I've tried the following options at Grub (combined and alone):
noapic
acpi=off
nofb
If the live cd works install a genkernel so you can boot then you can work on your kernel. Compare the two .config's to see if you can find something. I think genkernel still uses an initrd so make sure your kernel has y next to the stuff that needs to be loaded at the start. I'm sure you read this but it won't hurt. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handboo...?part=1&chap=7
What's the exact difference between the genkernel and the gentoo-sources kernel??
Ok, I've never read that genkernel part, but it sounds interesting... I'll try that tomorrow. I'll just stuff it besides my already conf'd by me kernel
Anyway, I have found that the problem is not in the io scheduler, but it happens after that, I've tried an older kernel with a different io scheduler, and it made no difference sadly
When you do your own kernel you have to make sure you compile into the kernel support y (when you do make menuconfig it will be * not m , for your processer, motherboard chipset, hard drive, filesystem all the stuff that is needed right away because you are not using an initrd image like the livecd kernel which is the about the same as genkernel. You will get the hang of it.

For the record, this is at 100% brightness and contrast, and it actually looks this way, it's not this bad readable because of the camera, no, it actually is unreadable
That's what I get after boot. Anyone knows what to do?
My board is an Asus M2N4-SLI with Asus nVidia EN7300GT Silent vga card.
My monitor currently supports up to 1280*1024@60Hz, 32bit
