Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
Last weekend I installed Gentoo 2005.1 (from the universal installation |
| 4 |
CD). |
| 5 |
I installed Gentoo next to Fedora and used Fedora's grub installation. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
The disk partitioning is as follows: |
| 8 |
hda1 : (primary) "/boot" |
| 9 |
hda2 : (primary) [swap] |
| 10 |
hda3 : (extended) |
| 11 |
hda5 : (logical) "/" root for Fedora |
| 12 |
hda6 : (logical) "/" root for Gentoo |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
My grub.conf is as follows: |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
# grub.conf generated by anaconda |
| 17 |
# |
| 18 |
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this |
| 19 |
file |
| 20 |
# NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that |
| 21 |
# all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. |
| 22 |
# root (hd0,0) |
| 23 |
# kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda5 |
| 24 |
# initrd /initrd-version.img |
| 25 |
#boot=/dev/hda |
| 26 |
default=0 |
| 27 |
timeout=30 |
| 28 |
#splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz |
| 29 |
title Fedora Core (2.6.11-1.1369_FC4) |
| 30 |
root (hd0,0) |
| 31 |
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet |
| 32 |
initrd /initrd-2.6.11-1.1369_FC4.img |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
title=Gentoo GNAP Development 2.6.12-r6 |
| 35 |
root (hd0,0) |
| 36 |
kernel /kernel-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/ram0 |
| 37 |
init=/linuxrc ramdisk=8192 real_root=/dev/hda6 udev |
| 38 |
initrd /initramfs-genkernel-x86-2.6.12-gentoo-r6 |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
At the first reboot, the kernel unpacks, etc... |
| 41 |
But after a while it stops: |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
... |
| 44 |
vesafb: VBE version: 3.0 |
| 45 |
vesafb: protected mode interface info at c000:8846 |
| 46 |
vesafb: pmi: set display start = c00c8897, set palette = c00c88f7 |
| 47 |
vesafb: pmi: ports = b4c3 b503 d403 d503 cc03 d703 d803 d903 ff03 |
| 48 |
vesafb: hardware supports DDC2 transfers |
| 49 |
vesafb: monitor limits: vf = 200 Hz, hf = 133 kz, clk = 350 MHz |
| 50 |
vesafb: scrolling: redraw |
| 51 |
(nothing more) |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Since 'vesafb' is last message I see, I think something goes wrong with |
| 55 |
the graphical adapter. |
| 56 |
However, I removed all kernel options that have to do with the |
| 57 |
framebuffer and I disabled the grub plash image. It still stalls. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
I assume installing Gentoo on an extended partition should not be a |
| 60 |
problem? |
| 61 |
Maybe the Gentoo install does not work well with Fedora's grub? |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Any help and/or pointers are greatly appreciated...! |
