Hi Raffaele, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
may be this could give some insight of was is happening. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
You said, you are able to ssh into your PC. |
| 6 |
I would try the following: Boot the PC, ssh into it and disable the |
| 7 |
start of X. Boot again: Are you getting the console login |
| 8 |
successfully? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Can you check, whether /dev , /proc , /sys and other directories of a |
| 11 |
special function are created and filled correctly? |
| 12 |
Are the permissions ok? |
| 13 |
Is /run available and setup correctly? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Are there any leftovers from the root@hd in /etc/fstab? |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
If you get to console successfully, is it possible to start X from |
| 18 |
the commandline? What is printed on the terminal? |
| 19 |
What does X.log say? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Hopefully we will find something to fix that problem! |
| 22 |
|

Cheers! |

As suggested by the Wiki [1] I first installed Win letting it GPT-partition the SSD and leaving some empty space for a Gentoo ext4 root partition. Then I copied the Gentoo root from the HDD to the SSD ('cp -a' except /dev, /sys and /proc which I recreated empty on the SSD), UEFI-booted a SysRescue USB and installed GRUB2 to the Windows-created ESP. Now, while the chain-loaded Windows boots happily, I'm not able to get any GUI or terminal interface for SSD-booted Linux. The old, HDD-based installation is still available and running fine. |
