Hi again. |
2 |
|
3 |
Managed to muddle through the install (mostly) OK, but my kernel is not |
4 |
booting. First of all, when building the kernel the guide says to use "make |
5 |
vmlinux && make modules_install" so I faithfully followed the instructions. |
6 |
This built me a kernel with no modules for some reason. So I built a new one |
7 |
in the fashion I am accustomed to: I did "make && make modules_install". This |
8 |
time my modules were made, and I copied vmlinux to /boot. |
9 |
|
10 |
Then, when I tried using yabootconfig as in the manual it failed on me, saying |
11 |
something like "failed to get required information. Did you use |
12 |
yabootconfig --chroot" or somesuch. So I created a yaboot.conf manually, |
13 |
using the guide as a model. I rebooted, and yaboot seemed to be working, it |
14 |
gave me the menu and everything but Linux would not boot (more on this |
15 |
later).. |
16 |
|
17 |
So I booted the livecd again, and this time I |
18 |
ran "yabootconfig --chroot=/mnt/gentoo" and this time it worked, but didn't |
19 |
create a menu entry for OS X or to boot from the CD. So I mix and matched and |
20 |
currently have this: |
21 |
|
22 |
########### |
23 |
boot=/dev/sda2 |
24 |
|
25 |
ofboot=hd:2 |
26 |
|
27 |
device=/ht@0,f2000000/pci@7/k2-sata-root@c/k2-sata@0/disk@0: |
28 |
timeout=30 |
29 |
install=/usr/lib/yaboot/yaboot |
30 |
magicboot=/usr/lib/yaboot/ofboot |
31 |
|
32 |
image=/boot/vmlinux |
33 |
label=Linux |
34 |
root=/dev/sda4 |
35 |
partition=4 |
36 |
read-only |
37 |
|
38 |
macosx=ultra1:3 |
39 |

40 |
enableofboot |

sdb3 OS X |

Again I rebooted, and all seems fine. It boots from a CD, it boots OS X just |
54 |
fine, but the one constant throughout all my attempts is that when trying to |
55 |
boot Linux, it prints this cryptic message and hangs: |
56 |
|
57 |
found display :/pci@0,f0000000/ATY,SimoneParent@10/ATX, Simone_B@1, opening... |
58 |
|
59 |
Since yaboot seems to be working fine otherwise, I am thinking this may be a |
60 |
kernel issue, but truly I have no idea. Have I forgotten something important? |
61 |
I can post the kernel config if you want to see it. |
62 |
|
63 |
Does anyone recognize what may have happened here? |
64 |
|
65 |
Thanks, |
