Hi all, |
| 31 |
OK, thanks to everyone for your responses. It's 5AM and I'm going |
| 32 |
to try and answer as much as I can to get more info. Things are very |
| 33 |
hosed up with this machine after whatever instructions I gave grub |
| 34 |
didn't work. At the point where I'm supposed to get a grub splash |
| 35 |
screen I get a blinking cursor, then it flashes for less than a second |
| 36 |
some of the rootnoverify part from grub.conf so it's finding |
| 37 |
something, and then I get a message about windows not starting because |
| 38 |
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll is missing. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
I have not yet this morning booted again from the install CD and |
| 41 |
chrooted into the new 64-bit install. As I said, it's 5AM. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
OK, specific to this response there's nothing on the Safe_Cflags |
| 44 |
page about this specific processor. (i5-661) I'll continue to study |
| 45 |
that and take a very conservative path. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
Today all I want is to boot Gentoo with nothing but @system. I'm |
| 48 |
happy to build that 10 times over with new CFLAGS if necessary before |
| 49 |
going on to ANYTHING in @world. I don't NEED Gentoo just yet - I want |
| 50 |
it but don't need it. What I need is to get grub working and be able |
| 51 |
to boot into Windows first so I'm going to focus on that. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Thanks, |
| 54 |
Mark |
