I've just completed a fresh Gentoo installation on a new laptop, and |
| 2 |
strangely, after I choose the entry from the Grub screen, all I get is: |
| 3 |
|
| 4 |
Booting `Gentoo Linux 2.6.32-r7` |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
root (hd0,1) |
| 7 |
Filesystem type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 |
| 8 |
kernel /kernel-2.6.32-gentoo-r7 root=/dev/sda4 |
| 9 |
[Linux-bzImage, setup=0x3000, size=0x1ab020] |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
It then sits there. No error, no other messages. The hard drive light |
| 12 |
stops, and the Num Lock and Caps Lock keys don't respond. If I press |
| 13 |
the power button, it immediately turns off. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
The laptop is a HP 8440p and I've installed amd64. I've followed the |
| 16 |
install guide, and the hard drive has Windows, EXT2 /boot, swap, EXT3 / |
| 17 |
on it. I've compiled EXT2, EXT3 and SATA AHCI into the kernel. |

Does anyone have any idea what I've forgotten or missed? If you need |
| 20 |
more info, let me know. Thanks for any help you can give. |
