Great call Zac! rootdelay=10 allowed me to boot from the flash drive just fine. I still get absolutely no [OK] messages but the system comes up, I can log in as root or mythtv. I cannot run mythfrontend yet due to missing libraries and things, but it seems pretty fixable so far. Thanks! It's intersting that rc-update show shows all the right info but it seems that possibly very few of the services are really starting. However I do have networking so that's a start. Thanks for doing the reading! - Mark -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
