I have been unable to boot into my gentoo system due to a Machine Check |
| 2 |
Exception. This is an AMD 64 system. MCE for AMD is enabled in the kernel |
| 3 |
(2.6.21 gentoo-sources). |

|

I am unable to boot in to turn off MCE checking. I was able to log in by |
| 6 |
single user mode. The MCE happens at the end of the loading of "default" |
| 7 |
scripts, at least this is what I am seeing on the screen: xdm has been |
| 8 |
loaded. |

The problem is, I have been installing ubuntu on another partition, and it |
| 11 |
boots fine. |

|
| 13 |
If I have it right, I can download a gentoo live install disk and compile a |
| 14 |
new kernel. Is there a howto on this specific problem? |

Thank you, |
