I have just installed Gentoo on a second machine (my second install
ever). Immediately after the GRUB splash screen the text console uses
a badly corrupted font. It cannot be easily read but I can make out
enough to see that it is the normal boot process and that there is a
complaint about a reiserfs partition that needs to be fixed.
If I type the root password for single user mode the corruption
persists so I am unable to do anything about the problem. If I
continue the boot process the screen is corrected when it loads the
user font - the entire screen is clear and normal as of that point.
There is no othere corruption in any of the screens including X which
starts and works fine.
How do I fix this so I do not have corrupt text during the boot process?
The system:
Intel P4 1.8
512Md DDR
ATI Radeon 9500 64Mb
40Gb HDD
Mitsubishi Diamond View 1786 17" monitor
2.4 Kernel
ati-drivers were emerged during install, so I do not know if the
problem would exist without them...
Thanks.
perhaps vga=normal
