blank screen on gentoo reboot
I just installed gentoo for the fourth time, and when I rebooted the first time, it came up to a blank screen and did nothing.
It is a dual boot system with Window$ XP on /dev/hda and gentoo on /dev/hdb Here is my lilo.conf file boot=/dev/hda prompt timeout=50 default=windows vga=792 image=/boot/kernel-2.4.26-gentoo-r9 label=gentoo read-only root=/dev/ram0 append="init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hdb3" initrd=/boot/initrd-2.4.26-gentoo-r9 append="vga=792" other=/dev/hda1 label=windows my physical drives are two 40 gig quantums /dev/hda is my windows partion which works and I can log in /dev/hdb is my gentoo parition /dev/hdb1 is /BOOT it is 32M /dev/hdb2 is Swap it is 2048M /dev/hdb3 is my home dir I am running an Athlon XP 2000 with 1G of RAM. I think it is something to do with the conf file itself, but with the black screen I haven't been able to do anything.... any help is Appreciated..... |
I had a similar problem when i tried to use genkernel, (I have a Athlon XP 2100), I ended up manually configuring my kernel. I'm guessing the lilo.conf was almost veratim from the Gentoo handbook, so barring any spelling errors, I doubt that's the problem.
...... Took me six times, and i haven't quite got X to work...... but i'm learning a lot....... |
