Yeah, I'm a noob, so speak slowly 
Using my ATI radeon x700, the kernel hangs at boot. The error is "vesafb BUG: 0", but when i swap that out with my nvidia geforce 5, it boots fine, but when i try to startx using enlightenment, the framebuffer quits as well. Anyone have a suggestion? |

What settings do you have for vesafb in grub?

my grub.conf :
| Code: | default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r6
root (hd0,0)
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda3 udev
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6

So you can not log into your machine as root or su? Because you need to be a member of the portage group or be root to emerge packages. |
