Boot failure on AMD Duron 900

[danwatt]

This is my third Gentoo install, I thought I had gotten the feel of things, evidently not.

Two major problems. First, grub would not run. It kept on crashing, saying something about a kernel virtual address or something (I can post a detailed error if you like). Grub on the CD also failed to run, so its not a problem with the one I compiled. I instead installed LILO, which worked on the first reboot (got the screen and the selection that I expected). It then said "Loading linux.................................." and the screen went black. The only other thing that I noticed was the caps-lock and scroll-lock lights were both flashing (which I thought was odd, so maybe it means something?)

Anyone had a problem with Gentoo on a Duron? Any idea as to where I can start looking to fix this? I barely set any kernel options, and the first thing I am going to try come morning is go with a default kernel. Other than that, I am at a complete loss as to why it is doing this, and any suggestions would be appreciated

you might try genkernel first just to see if that works correctly.
