I've just completed first part of a fresh install. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Mounted the new root and emerged a few things while still chrooted. |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
It'd be difficult to list quickly since I can't boot it, but the |
| 6 |
highlights are: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
eix |
| 9 |
genkernel |
| 10 |
gentoolkit |
| 11 |
gentoolkit-dev |
| 12 |
gentoo-sources |
| 13 |
grub |
| 14 |
lynx |
| 15 |
ntp |
| 16 |
reiserfsprogs |
| 17 |
rsyslog |
| 18 |
vim |
| 19 |
vixie-cron |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And a number of dependancies pulled in from my use flags. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
I didn't want to start from scratch dinking around with kernel params |
| 24 |
so elected to go the `genkernel all' route, hoping that with that much |
| 25 |
junk being compiled... surely I'd get whatever I needed to start the |
| 26 |
process of building up this installation. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I realize there are many who have lots of rants against genkernel but |
| 29 |
unless you think that is the core of the problem... please hold off on |
| 30 |
advice to build my own kenel. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
kernel = 2.6.29-r5 |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
What I see on reboot: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Normal booting appears to be going along then moments after dev is |
| 37 |
mounted followed by filesystems... a massive screen full of text |
| 38 |
begins scrolling by and never stops. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Impossible to read any of the text and neither pause/break or |
| 41 |
scroll/lock keys have any effect. |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Appears to be a continuous wrapping line repeated. |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
But it completely kills the boot process, and no further progress is |
| 46 |
possible. |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I really have no idea what to change when I boot off the install media. |
