I should have used a stage3 but I did not. Builing a kernel using menuconfig the Nvidia MCP51, which was already preselected, I think that the issue of the a correct driver is solved? Not really sure until I get the kernel to boot. I used a stage 1 and got all the way to installing grub before the install stalled. Here's the grub error when (page 10 for amd64) I entered 'emerge grub' rm: cannot remove '/var/tmp/portage/sys-boot/grub-0.97-r3/image/bin': Funciont not implemented then it repeats for .../image/lib .../image/usr and so no. Maybe one of the partions is not rw? The other emerges along the way ran fine. I did issue a 'etc-update' just before 'emerge grub'. Maybe that caused the problem for the chrooted environment? Any ideas? Should I just trash the install and start over? This is frustrating because except for using a stage 1 tarball and issuing a questionable 'etc-update' I verbosely followed the handbook installation process. James -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
