 |
|
| Code: | Booting 'Gentoo Linux'
kernel (hd1,0)/kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/hdb7 vga=791
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x1200, src=0x1ef3bc]
initrd (hd1,0)/initrd-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
[Linux-initrd e 0x1fe70000,,0x16fe16 bytes]
You passed an undefined mode number.

I get that when I frist boot into linux. If I press space then it goes on and boot up. Here is my grub.conf
| Code: |
default 0
timeout 10
splashimage=(hd1,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Window XP Pro
root (hd0,0)
chainloader +1
title=Gentoo Linux
kernel (hd1,0)/kernel-2.6.9-gentoo-r1 root=/dev/hdb7 vga=791
initrd (hd1,0)/initrd-2.6.9-gentoo-r1
|
Also, my keyboard doesnt seem to be working. On boot up I notice this line.
| Code: |
fsck.rerserf: not found
|
Then it says something couldnt cheak /dev/hdb7. Here is my fstab.
| Code: |

try vga=ask then it will scan all the valid modes for your card.

not a keyboard problem, you are just missing reiserfstools
emerge reiserfstools

in the line for hdb7 you have reiserf instead of reiserfs

Actually, that's causing the fsck error as well...

I ment to put that on a differnt line. I think my keyboard problem has to do with the fact I use genkernel. I have a usb mouse/keyboard and it doesnt seem to work. I think I will try to complie a kernel later. |

if it is a usb keyboard, you may need to emerge hotplug.

I got the same error minus the very last part with vga=ask. Any more ideas? |

yes, it is still passing vga=791 from what you just posted - are you sure that /boot was mounted (if you have a separate partition) when you edited your grub.conf, or am I just reading your post incorrectly?

Opps sorry, the error it is giving me has vga=ask. I just copy and pasted and forgot about that.
Would it be because I have yet to isntall my ati driver? |

I think this has something to do with the kernel. I use genkernel so I think I am gonna try make my own kernel. Wish me luck  |
