 |
|
Now using Lynx as the browser while performing the final installation of Gentoo64 on an Intel C2D. I'm also using Lynx so I have no idea how the word wrap will work on this post.
Two things I had to do to successfully boot was mask all kernel sources later then 2.6.19 as they refuse to boot. Another thing was the reduction to 2GB of memory because for some reason I'm unable to boot into a working base system with all 4GB installed. That issue I hope to have resolved as I've completed building the base system (now posting from the console using Lynx).

FastTurtle,
You probably need grub-static to boot a 64 bit install with 4G of memory installed.

Do you have any error messages to pass on for this? I just did a reinstall (AMD athlon 64 4400+ x2 (duel core & 64 bit)) and had problems with the kernel booting - init problems that were a bit of a headache. Cutting down on unnessesary grub.conf options and some kernel teaking fixed it. |
