I have just installed Gentoo on a second machine (my second install ever). Immediately after the GRUB splash screen the text console uses a badly corrupted font. It cannot be easily read but I can make out enough to see that it is the normal boot process and that there is a complaint about a reiserfs partition that needs to be fixed.
If I type the root password for single user mode the corruption persists so I am unable to do anything about the problem. If I continue the boot process the screen is corrected when it loads the user font - the entire screen is clear and normal as of that point. There is no othere corruption in any of the screens including X which starts and works fine.
How do I fix this so I do not have corrupt text during the boot process?
The system: Intel P4 1.8 512Md DDR ATI Radeon 9500 64Mb 40Gb HDD Mitsubishi Diamond View 1786 17" monitor 2.4 Kernel
ati-drivers were emerged during install, so I do not know if the problem would exist without them...
Thanks.
