stupid question i know but - was /boot mounted before doing the copies ? |
24 |
you mention you have six other kernels on there -- could it be an out of |
25 |
disk / inode issue so it looks like it's copied but hasn't ? |

please do copy the phrase to this list, I would be interested to know |

from the grub2 menu can you choose your old kernels and boot them? |
60 |
is it sitting waiting for you to press enter but perhaps there is a |
61 |
wierd usb-legacy thing in the bios preventing the keyboard working ? |
62 |
|
63 |
does it appear to acknowledge the pressing of enter by not making you |
64 |
wait for the timeout and then just goes to a blank screen ? a flashing |
65 |
cursor ? |

what about |
73 |
# cat /etc/portage/make.conf |
74 |
# gcc-config -l |
75 |
# uname -a |
76 |
# ls -lah /usr/src/linux/arch/x86_64/boot/bzImage |

I was thinking maybe that you have made another change somewhere that is |
79 |
making the compilation of a new kernel skewiff... i.e. it's your |
80 |
compiler (build environment) not your grub that might be at fault |

92 |
again stupid question but have you tried compiling with this option back |
93 |
in ? |
94 |
i.e. could it be somehow silently booting but not updating the screen |
95 |
(clutching at straws i know) |
