You are probably right...let me try
It didn't:-(

LOL!
Sorry, I don't mean to laugh at your frustration...
It didn't what?
It didn't boot. (I've made a dual LED multivibrator with 3 billion 
transistors... :-) It's kernel panic again.

It didn't say?  See
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1chap=5 where
it says:
CHOST
Warning: Although it might be tempting for non-stage1 users, they should not
change the CHOST setting in make.conf. Doing so might render their system
unusable. Again: only change this variable if you use a stage1
installation. 

I know that - just (unfortunatelly) forgot it.
It didn't work?  What did you do?  What did you see?
I put CHOST=i386-pc-linux-gnu. This shall be the default. Correct me 
if I'm wrong.

What are the default settings of make.conf?
Does anyone still has this file somewhere?
It seems like I'll have to do it again from scratch.

if you have a cd tray you can power it up and use the tray as a coffee
mug holder.


***me has actually done that when desk was filled with papers...

[gentoo-user] first boot freezing...

2005-01-22 Thread Goran Kavrecic
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?
regards,
goran
