New to Gentoo, recently switching from RedHat8. I'm having all kinds of issues with 2.6.3 kernel and Grub. I have a Dell i8200 notebook w/ Nvidia GeForce.
I can compile the 2.6.3 kernel no problem. I move it to /boot and edit grub.conf. I am NOT using initrd. My root=/dev/hda3 When I reboot, I choose this kernel but I get either a "fractal" looking window in the middle of the screen that seems to want to show some text, but I can't see it. But if I type, I see a "cursor" blemish move around. I have gotten a tiny penguin to show up, but all text was black on black. Same thing as above. In both cases, I cannot switch terminals either. My 2.4.22 works fine. What could be the problem??! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
