A, sure I have a suggestion... You're trying to install a souped up 2.6.10 kernel (with the love patches) to an old pentium 133? That's probably your first mistake, but your choice...
In your kernel config (either via menuconfig or whatever) you should specify the kernel that you're using, specifically a simple Pentium processor. And I'd be willing to bet you may encounter other similar issues as I really don't think the current kernel with it's modern features and expectations of a later Pentium (i.e. PIII+) would be too happy with (but I'm hardly an expert and I'm not fishing for being flamed, so please take that with a grain of salt). Try taking a detailed path through your kernel config and identify exactly the components that are in your system and specifically enabling those (and only those) components. Extra care should be taken for all of those that are specifically processor related (the family, support for math emulator, etc.) because and invalid selection will have you back in the same boat that you're in now. Worse comes to worse, you might try a 2.4.x version of the kernel... -----Original Message----- From: <<Omega21>> [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, January 15, 2005 7:52 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [gentoo-user] Problems booting Hey everyone! I have reinstalled Gentoo on my system. Everything went fine. Im using that love path, so my kernel is 2.6.10-rc3-love1. My problem lies at bootup. After removing the liveCD and selecting Linux in GRUB, It seems to start up fine. Then, it pauses as soon as it gives me the output for detecting my processor (PentiumMMX 133mHz). It just plain stops. It does respond to a CTRL-ALT-DELETE, and displays no output, but does a restart at a normal speed. Any ideas of whats wrong? Thanks!
