amd64-2.6.17-gentoo-r4 doesnt boot up

[Catro]

edit: i have a problem booting the above kernel the code following are the last lines of info my comp gives me, after that i only have a blinking cursor and nothing more, no reaction on ctrl-alt-del or something else /edit

[moocha]

Er, what is the problem there, actually? All I see is a bunch of informational messages with no errors or warnings.

Edit: Ugh, I'm being stupid (didn't read the thread title ). But you wil have to provide us with more info - such as what kernel you compiled, if using genkernel or a custom compile, whether or not you compiled in support for your disk drive controller, etc.

hmm, i think looking for the error takes more time than going thru the install-process again.
would be nice to find out what the problem was, but first i want a running gentoo

[Catro]

hmm, ok...
very strange, i installed gentoo again and now it hangs at the same point...

i compiled a custom kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r4
on an
AMD64 X2 4400+ AM2
Asus M2N4-sli

i used the standard settings of the menuconfig, only removed some drivers (network etc)
i double checked to have every point thats mentioned in the installation manual compiled into

hi Catro,

It seems that I've the same problem - see: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-490263.html

I also use kernel-2.6.17-gentoo-r4 with an
AMD Mobile Athlon XP 2600+ on an MSI K7N2 Delta mainboard...

[Catro]

hi, i've senn your thread before i wrote mine but i thought it was another problem cause your system stopped after RTCD, now you deactivated it and it really seems to be the same problem.

i tried to configure a kernel using
genkernel all
but that didnt help. now it hangs after checking ... i think it was PCI-slots IRQs or things like that...
gotta write it down here i think, cause it might give another hint to the problem

argh, i wanna use that monster of a computer... and i dont wanna install some cracked windows-crap

edit: ok, thats the whole info i can see on my crappy 15"-braunsche-röhre

[Catro]

i think i smack down my system today and install a older version of the kernel. i had a kernel from the universal installation cd runnig stable on my system.

edit: deleted because of stoopidnes

it was kernel 2.6.15-r5 runnig stable
