 |
|
I'm having trouble installing Gentoo... I know this probably gets redundant, so sorry, but I really don't feel like skimming through a bunch of topics to see if the answers are there.
My friend, who has installed Gentoo on his comp, was helping my via the telephone. He guided me through all the configurations and compilations and all that good stuff, and then we tested it out. We got error 15 several times due to spelling errors, but we fixed it up. But now, after I select Gentoo from Grub, it just goes to a screen with lots of script and messages. And it stays there.
I'm hoping I won't have to type out these messages, as there are a lot. But I will if I must.
Can anyone help

Try to type the last 4 or 5 lines.

Try to remove nvidia fb support from your kernel
| Code: | ┌────────────────────── nVidia Framebuffer Support ───────────────────────┐
│ CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA: │
│ │
│ This driver supports graphics boards with the nVidia chips, TNT │
│ and newer. For very old chipsets, such as the RIVA128, then use │
│ the rivafb. │
│ Say Y if you have such a graphics board. │
│ │
│ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the │
│ module will be called nvidiafb. │
│ │
│ Symbol: FB_NVIDIA [=n] │
│ Prompt: nVidia Framebuffer Support │
│ Defined at drivers/video/Kconfig:653 │
│ Depends on: FB && PCI │
│ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Graphics support │ |

| did you use genkernel or did you manually configure your kernel |

well you would have to boot to the livecd then moutn your drives again. I am not sure how your partition schem is but thsi is the default scheme | Code: | # mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
# mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot
# mount -t proc none /mnt/gentoo/proc |
the you would chroot into your installation
| Code: | # chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
# env-update
# source /etc/profile |
change you directory to where your kernel resides
| Code: | | # cd /usr/src/linux |
and start configuring your kernel
then remove you frameuffer support under
Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Graphics support
removing fb support for your nvidia card
i have also read that enabling vesafb support will get you framebuffer to work |

kernel /kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r3 root=/dev/hda3 video=desafb:1280x1024-32@60
I think that you need to use video=vesafb
But since you used nvidiafb i don't get why you have both? But that's something to fix later
Try to change the boot line to video=vesafb:1280x1024-32@60
or video=nvidiafb
or simply omit that whole parameter |

You've not removed nvidia fb support. Check in /usr/src/linux/.config that
is set to N.
