Hi Everyone, |

I hope someone will be able to "lead me by the nose" here. |

For a number of weeks now, I have been trying to install Gentoo on my |
| 6 |
new desktop. I kept running into issues and due to time constraints |
| 7 |
when I was installing, I put off trying to resolve them. |

Today, I went through the install process, had a couple of issues, but |
| 10 |
was able to figure them out and got to the point where I was supposed to |
| 11 |
boot into my new system. I got the boot menu, the boot process seemed |
| 12 |
to be okay, but when I got to the point where I assumed I should get a |
| 13 |
command prompt to finish up, all I got was a weird screen that was half |
| 14 |
black and half fuzzy with a bunch of colours (sorry, I can describe this |
| 15 |
any better). I tried recompiling the kernel thinking it was a problem |
| 16 |
that I had created during the initial compilation, but that ended with |
| 17 |
the same result. |

The computer is a Dell XPS 8300 |
| 20 |
It has a Radeon graphics card, but I wouldn't think this would be an |
| 21 |
issue until I tried to install X. |

Does anyone have any ideas? |
