 |
|
Hello, guys, I spent whole day to install Gentoo on my laptop, and the process is pretty smooth until I met some problem with kernel-2.6.11-rc1-mm1when I rebooted it.
There was no error when I compiled this kernel, but when I rebooted my laptop, on the screen there just was a sentence "Uncompressing Linux ... Ok, booting the kernel", then nothing more happened.
I am sure that the config of GRUB is correct, and added frame buffer support. Below is the grub.conf.
| Code: |
timeout 30
default 0
fallback 1
#splashimage=(hd0,1)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
# For booting Gentoo Linux
title Gentoo Linux
root (hd0,1)
#kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/hda2 video=vesa vga=0x317
kernel /boot/kernel root=/dev/hda2
|
Does anybody know why this happened? Thanks a lot. |

Is there a '/boot/kernel' in '/boot'? As in: did you copy '/usr/src/linux****/arch/i386/boot/bzImage' to '/boot/kernel'?

Try using "vga=normal" to disable the framebuffer.
This should at least let you see if there are any error messages being displayed. |

Thank you, actually I copied the kernel, otherwise the kernel couldn't be uncompressed. I think it was a problem with frame buffer. |

Thanks 
I tried another kernel, 2.6.9, and fortuantely it can work without support for frame buffer. I am going to add the frame buffer support, and hope this will work. |
