i just finnished installing gentoo, after following the manual from their website uber precisely...
but when i boot it up without the CD, everything boots fine untill it comes to a section where white text begins (after the initial grey text) it says "Initial RAMDISK loading started" its goes through a bunch of stuff
---- Beginning storage detection
----- yada yada yada
...some stuff goes here and then we come down to an area about 20 lines from there and it says
--Scanning for usbcore...usb.c:registered new driver usbdevfs usb.com:registered new driver hub
---- detected usbcore hardware
----Scanning for ehci-hcd...hcd.com: ehci-hcd @ 00:02.2, PCI device 10de:0068 (nVidia Coporation)
and that is where it locks up or seises to do anything, the keyboard and mouse are not activated at this point. I have waited for around 15 minutes, but nothing happens... i compiled the gentoo kernel using genkernel, then since i have a audigy and an ati i did
#emerge emu10k1
and
#emerge ait-drivers
after all that was done i proceded with the installation
(was i supposed to recompile the kernel after with genkernel again?)
and then i finnished the installation, everything seeming to go along fine
i searched google and could find anything relating to this
and my computer is as follows:
AMD 2400+
Nvidia nforce 2
512mb ram
old 10gb harddrive (i know it still works fine)
ps/2 keyboard
usb mouse
audigy platinum (the first audigy)
ati-9600 128mb
i think that is all the necessary info...
T.I.A.
