 |
|
I am trying my second gentoo installation ever. Without initramfs and
/boot as a directory in /. Partition scheme is dos/MBR. Tried
with lilo and now extlinux and both bootloaders stop at their menus,
not loading the kernel. Tried many kernel configurations and my
knowledge stops here. By the way how do I post my .config? There was an error so I omitted it
but I guess we need it.

babagau,
We need to know your The Vendor and device IDs at the end of the lines are important.
You post your .config with wgetpaste. That puts in on the wed for a limited time.
Something like | Code: | $ wgetpaste -c 'emerge --info'
Your paste can be seen here: https://bpa.st/OHDA |
That example is command output.
Tell us the URLs.
That example is for command output.
We also need to know the filesystems you are using.
-- edit --
| Code: | | 00:1f.2 IDE interface: Intel Corporation NM10/ICH7 Family SATA Controller [IDE mode] (rev 01) |
That's a bad thing. IDE mode with SATA was usually only partially implemented. All the speedup things like DMA were missing.
Its sole purpose was to allow Windows XP users to install the SATA driver before switching to SATA mode forever.
Linux has never needed IDE mode.
Leave it for now. Its something to fix once it works.

it was a silly error on the extlinux.conf file.
entry LINUX needed a slash before boot as it is a path
I visually confused it with the following APPEND root line
LINUX /boot/...
APPEND root=....
my bad
Thank you for the wgetpaste, the -nnk options
and the IDE SATA controller thing. Will check it out

This issue has been solved after a bios upgrade!
