If anything useful is there (i.e. not scrolled off), google it just in case someone has found a fix. If not, my first suggestion is to try newer kernels. This sounds very like the sort of thing that was discussed in the various lkml threads about EFI/UEFI I alluded to when replying to Dan in the past month (a change which fixes some machines breaks others). I suggest that you start by trying 3.12.0. No idea if anything there will fix it, but it is current. I normally don't recommend people try early -rc kernels, and 3.13-rc1 wasn't even released when I last checked. If you haven't had any success when 3.13-rc1 is released then certainly try it : but expect unrelated breakage in all sorts of weird and wonderful corner cases. So, if 3.12.0 doesn't work I would then try 3.10.0 in case a later "fix" broke something, and after that perhaps 3.8.0, 3.6.0, 3.4.0 (assuming your glibc "--enable-kernel=" isn't as aggressive as mine and will let your init run old kernels). IFF you can find something old which boots, you then get to work out what broke it. ĸen, glad to be a luddite using the bios and an MBR - at least until you guys have sorted out what needs to be done. -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
