Hi, this is my first gentoo installation.
my cursor is not blinking, and the boot gets stuck at loading linux
this is my lspsi output:https://bpa.st/N22Q
and this is my kernel config:https://dpaste.com/7M26X5CH6
i have been trying to get it to work, but to no avail
thanks in advance

I personally use "genkernel all" to get system up and running fast. It'll take a while with all settings enabled, however you can set it to save the config file as well as prompt with nconfig or menuconfig before compile for customization. It'll also make an initramfs for you which a lack of could be part of the problem.
Once you have a system up, then trial-error + search things and start disabling things that you know you don't need, such as Intel CPU settings on AMD hardware, GPU drivers you don't have hardware for, removing exotic modules, etc.
Check out these links if you haven't:

Good luck! |

tackmancer,
Welcome to Gentoo Forums !
Try to enable these both:
| Code: | # CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set
# CONFIG_FB_EFI is not set |
(and let SIMPLE_FB enabled as it is)
and disable this:
| Code: | CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA_BACKLIGHT=y |

tackmancer,
Welcome to Gentoo.
There are automated ways to build your kernel as well as a recently added binary kernel.
To possible to come back to building four own kernel later if you want to.
If you want to jump in at the deep end, we won't let you drown either. You may find PC Boot Process useful background reading.
is the last message from Grub before it starts your kernel.
Looking at your lspci you have a [AMD] Starship/Matisse chipset. I have one of those too.
Looking at your kernel
| Code: | CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION=y
CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION=y |
Good.
| Code: | | # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME is not set |
is needed for | Code: | | 01:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Micron/Crucial Technology P2 NVMe PCIe SSD (rev 01) (prog-if 02 [NVM Express]) |
as its the nvme driver.
That's not the immediate problem though, your console driver is missing too or you would see a kernel panic message.
You need a driver for
| Code: | | 06:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GP108 [GeForce GT 1030] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) |
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=y will give you a framebuffer.
| Code: | CONFIG_DRM_LEGACY=y
CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA=y |
must both be off. The first is a security hazard. The second is for 20 year old nVidia cards. It also prevents proper operation of cards its not intended for.
Turn on | Code: | # CONFIG_FB_VESA is not set
# CONFIG_FB_EFI is not set |
Those two, together with are the only safe Framebuffer options today.
I said above that CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=y will give you a framebuffer. That's only half the story.
I'm fairly sure that your card needs firmware but with | Code: | | CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="" |
none is provided.
| Code: | | emerge liniux-firmware |
to get the firmware and flip that option to <M> so that the driver can find its firmware when it starts.
| Code: | CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y
CONFIG_USB_XHCI_PCI=y
CONFIG_R8169=y |
Not for booting but you need those too.
That will be a start. You must use menuconfig to make the changes, not a text editor.
It has a search function - press /
