Re-emerge and re-install Grub. If Grub hangs when you try to install it, which I assume is what is happening, then you can try starting as: # grub --no-floppy, to see if it works. Grub hanging basically implies that there's a hardware hick up of some sort. If Lilo works fine regardless and re-emerging/re-installing Grub does not resolve the problem, could you please show us your Lilo config file to see if we can draw some parallels between the two boot loaders. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
