Re: [gentoo-user] New Install Trouble w/ Boot and GCC Update
About the OK's are they just not there? like missing? if your using an lcd monitor I've noticed that sometimes when my monitor and previous monitors switch between like your boot screen and X and other stuff sometimes it displays the screen shifted to the left or to your case possibly the right. It sometimes cuts off the top 3-5 lines causing the login prompt to not show on the screen or other things like that. I know some LCDs have an auto align button that should clear that up. Thats really the only thing i can think of that might cause that.

Re: [gentoo-user] New Install Trouble w/ Boot and GCC Update
It is not just the OKs that are missing -- it is the entire line that would normally display the OKs. I'm using the same monitor (it is LCD) as I was using in my past install, but always received those lines in the past. When booting, I see that weird warning towards the end. Here are the last 5 lines of my boot screen, before I get the login prompt: EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly. Freeing unused kernel memory: 212k freed Warning: unable to open an initial console. Adding 1028152k swap on /dev/sda3. Priority:-1 extents:1 That Warning: unable to open initial console seems awfully fishy to me. I just have not clue why it is suddenly showing up or how to fix it (if it is indeed the problem). Everything appears to loading correctly. My network, for example, is up and running -- despite the fact I never see the OK output telling my that the system is trying to bring it up, and has then succeeded. Thanks for the help!

I'm in the middle of an '--update world' on the box in question, so I will have to wait to look at it. Is there anything specific that I should be looking for when I looking into this? My knowledge of the nuts-and-bolts is derived mostly from problems encountered; since I haven't run into this problem before, I'm not sure where to start. :) Many thanks for the help!! -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
