Gentoo showing blank screen after grub

[kaelistus]

Hi,

I've just installed gentoo on my new pc and I'm having some issues... Whenever I boot from my hard drive, grub shows up as normal, but as soon as I select my gentoo installation the screen flashes some text too quick to read and then goes completely blank - as in the monitor goes on power save mode.

I've pretty much followed the exact 2005.1 installation instructions using genkernel with the only devergence being that I didn't configure the network (I need to install driverloader for my wireless card so I figured I would configure everything else then do that later).

Here's my grub.conf file:

default 0
timeout 30
splashimage=(hd0,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz

title=Gentoo Linux 2.6.12-r10
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hdb3 udev
initrd /boot/initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6

Help!

I've had that problem before. It was due to trying to set a framebuffer. Check the kernel config for framebuffer settings.
