I recently got a new motherboard, 500G SATA drive & new memory, due my |
2 |
hard drive dying & the old motherboard not reconising the new drive. |

I booted off the 2008.0 livecd & installed the system just fine. |
5 |
I can mount all the partitions, chroot, & emerge stuff without much trouble. |
6 |
|
7 |
fdisk shows /dev/sda1 is bootable & I built I new kernel & added it to |
8 |
grub.conf (which I've done |
9 |
many times before). |

|
11 |
When I boot without the CD, I don't think control is going to grub. |
12 |
There are no messages, it just sits there after 'boot from CD' comes |
13 |
up. |

|
15 |
I cant currently emerge crypt-utils as it needs a kernel parameter |
16 |
set, which is why I want to boot off the new kernel (the livecd would |
17 |
do if X would actually start, but there is a link error on it). |
18 |
|
19 |
A whole bunch of things depend on crypt-utils, notably KDE. |

I suspect the problem has to be in the BIOS settings yet it looks alright. |
22 |
I'm wondering if grub can be told to put out more early information. |
