I'm doing a fresh install of gentoo based on the 2004.2 livecd which uses the 2.6.7 kernel.
Everything installs fine, I even went ahead to compile the "other" stuffs before re-booting with 2.6.10 kernel. During the reboot, the monitor/boot-up messages hangs (at the arrow) vesafb: hardware supports DCC2 transfers vesafb: monitor limits: vf = 75 Hz, hf = 63 kHz, clk = 110 MHz vesafb: scrolling: redraw <------ vesafb: mode switch failed (eax: 0x14f) Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 80x30 But it seems like normal-bootup still continues, as the machine is still able to get an IP address. (but fails to start SSHD) and becomes pingable. sshd[5689]: error: Bind to port 22 on 0.0.0.0 failed: Address already in use. I've tried a few variations of 2.6.10 kernel w/ different kernel configs etc incl the config from the 2.6.7 livecd's kernel config in /proc/config.gz. It still hangs. Loading 2.6.7 kernel (cp /mnt/livecd/boot/kernel-2.6.9 /mnt/gentoo/boot) works, I can see the login prompt (of course I get a _lot_ of error messages due to missing /lib/modules/2.6.7) I'm currently compiling 2.6.9 kernel based on 2.6.7's kernel-config.
