[gentoo-user] boot hangs forever at “Loading initial ramdisk...”

the grub editor causes error messages saying grub can’t find what I told it to look for. And those error messages do not occur with the boot script that grub generated. Normally, loading the initrd takes only a few seconds. How does one debug this situation? John

hose code resided on the root filesystem... That didn’t work, of course, but at least the kernel started to boot and threw out an error message. Here, I just get complete silence. So, I doubt that file system support is an issue. John

hat it’s a grub-Asus thing except for the fact that Sysrescue and Ubuntu both boot successfully. And I think they use grub. Maybe time to experiment with a different version or fresh installation of grub. Except that I’m burnt out on booting. Think I’ll go outside and dig some holes. John >

ing the initrd as I did the first time I started wrestling with this beast. Adding “nomodeset” to the boot command gives me back my screen, but it interferes with X11. So, I’ll take another look at the kernel config with your experience in mind. Fingers crossed! John >

en chromium, libreoffice, WebKit-gtk, and Firefox all decide to upgrade simultaneously, but the time I personally spend is - maybe - a couple minutes. The machines do all the actual work. And those few minutes a day are well worth having had the same computing environment for more than a decade, even through substantial changes in my software focus. And it’s been cool enough here this year for the heat generated to be welcome! ;) Definitely *not* arguing against anyone else’s tastes in computing or maintenance.
