The video card is definitely the issue. I suppose you are using fglrx as the driver. I used to get those on a regular basis back in the day (I have a Radeon HD3200), but since ati-drivers-9.6 came out, it has been rare, although still happening.
The one way to fix this is to use the open-source radeon drivers, but you'll lose the 3D capability. |

| errm I am using the open source drivers but another update is that it says radeon_get_vblank_counter aswell and before you say try switching to fglrx they no longer support my card and the last version that does doesn't support the newest version of x. |

Post your kernel .config, the results of lspci -n and cat /proc/cpuinfo as well as your /etc/fstab file, and I'll set you up with a kernel that will work for you.
Blessed be!

I also need your kernel .config. To get it, cat /usr/src/linux/.config. Please send with pastebin. See my sig for link.
Blessed be!

Repost the .config, and this time, post the url where the file exists.

Your kernel was really messed up. I started with a fresh seed, and set you up with the basics. You may have issues afterward. We'll deal with them as they arise.
Click here for your new .config. Compile as is.
For the best results, please do the following:
1) Move your .config file out of your kernel source directory (/usr/src/linux- ).
2) Issue the command make mrproper. This is a destructive step. It returns the source to pristine condition. Unmoved .config files will be deleted!
3) Copy my .config into your source directory.
4) Issue the command make && make modules_install.
5) Install the kernel as you normally would, and reboot.
6) Once it boots, please post /var/log/dmesg so I can see how things loaded.
I have set the framebuffer as VESA VGA. It should work without an issue. As for your X drivers, let's see what happens once this is configured and installed.
Blessed be!

installing using genkernel all now but I had a warning at the end of make && make modules_install
| Code: | WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.30-gentoo-r4/x11-drm/radeon.ko needs unknown symbol malloc_sizes
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.30-gentoo-r4/x11-drm/drm.ko needs unknown symbol malloc_sizes
|
that could be the problem installing with genkernel anyway though. |

actualy I think genkernel all replaced your config how should I install my kernel
EDIT after running genkernel --help I ran genkernel all --oldconfig with your confug in /usr/src/linux |

Right tried to boot with your config here is what I am getting
Root nfs no nfs server available giving up
VFS unable to mount trying floppy
kernel panic not syncing unable to mount root fs on unknown block
This is the outline of what it says if you need more detail just ask but it is important because I now cannot boot
EDIT if in the kernel line I put root=dev/sda2 it complains about the init option which is now set to linuxrc |

err yeah sorry I have now put dev/sda4 which boots but complains that it can't use initrc reverting to defaults or somthing
EDIT: shutdown was successful but I am not sure what initrc is could someone enlighten me so I can fix the problem
EDIT:the message is failed to execute /linuxrc attempting defaults should I be worried
EDIT: my fan doesn't seem to be working my laptop is getting hot quickly and there isn't any air coming from the vent
EDIT:running startx from terminal not using any xorg.conf following the instructionshttps://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5933509.html#5933509 cannot run in framebuffer mode please specify busID |

I've gotten that framebuffer thing with startx as well
I abandoned use of FB (and the usual pretty "splash") because of it. My X works fine without being in framebuffer mode, the only reason I included it in the first place was so I could have the nifty penguins and a splash upon bootup.
Frankly I wish I could start up X without any framebuffer nonsense; and though you can disable it in xorg.conf, I don't have an xorg.conf (I don't need one), so if I create one and add just those settings, it obviously croaks.
Anyway, I think you can just edit grub.conf and put "nofb" without quotes on the end of your kernel line.

Unless you're using the splashscreen, initramfs/initrd is unneeded. My seeds aren't set up for initrd. Since you can boot, then you don't need initramfs.
| Quote: | | EDIT: shutdown was successful but I am not sure what initrc is could someone enlighten me so I can fix the problem |
As long as you're booting, don't worry about it. You can eliminate the invocation of initrd, and you'll be as right as rain.
| Quote: | | EDIT:the message is failed to execute /linuxrc attempting defaults should I be worried |
If you system booted, no.
| Quote: | | EDIT: my fan doesn't seem to be working my laptop is getting hot quickly and there isn't any air coming from the vent |
Blow out the fan with canned "air". It's probably clogged with dust.
You need to load the specific drivers for your video card. You then need to install them (emerge -av xf86-video-radeon), or whatever your ATI driver is. Make sure you have the line VIDEO_CARDS="radeon" to your /etc/make.conf. Then enter this command: emerge libdrm && emerge mesa && emerge xorg-server && emerge $(qlist -IC x11-drivers). Then retry.
Blessed be!

oh and by splash screen do you mean while it is booting because I do have a penguin in the corner but I would like to have something nicer is this possible or would it be complicated in ubuntu and fedora and things I had a nice screen of lovly eyecandy how hard is it to get this configured if it is hard I don't care but if it is simple it would be nice |

For the eye candy you want to look at "fbsplash" and possibly "fbcondecor" - I wanna say there's a gentoo wiki entry for it.
I got that part working, but then X croaked with the error you mention
I take the VGA/VIDEO stuff out of my kernel command line, and X works, but the fb doesn't (obviously!)

ok when I have no xorg.conf the xserver does not start and starts complaining about framebuffers but when I do have an xorg.conf egrep '^\(EE|WW\)' /var/log/Xorg.0.log
returns

|
when I do not have an xorg.conf and run that command there are no radeon lines or compositing but the one to do with ACPI is still there and so are all the missing directorys
linuxrc still can't be executed but if I shouldn't worry about that could you just give me a clear explanation of what it does and why it is trying to load that in the first place I have done what pappy said to do but I do still get framebuffer complaints with no xorg.conf |
