I'm having problems with first boot in the install procedure.
It freezes (blinking status LEDs on kbd) after reading initrd.
Any idea where to look, what to search?
1. Did you do stage1, stage2, or stage3 install?
stage3
2. What CD's did you download and use?
2004.2, but downloaded stage3-...-2004.3 and portage-20041022
it is a single disk PC, but for this install I have opted to have boot on the same partition. As you will see, there is a Win partition (previously installed, has to be preserved) on /hda13. If you can boot to the Gentoo LiveCD, please post the following:
NOTE: I'm assuming that /boot == /dev/hda1 and / == /dev/hda3. If that's not correct, substitute the correct values. This is assuming that your computer has a single IDE hard drive.
