Hi,
I finally set up Gentoo on my C360. Upon boot, it seems to hang on * Starting local ... [ ok ]". If anyone has any immediate ideas on how to fix this, I'd be much appreciated.

Also, I have installed a Matrox Millenium, after hearing that I would be able to run X off it. I've found no documentation on doing so. When I compile in the Matrox drivers into the kernel I get a kernel panic upon boot.

Obviously, all this has been done over the serial console :p

Any help will be appreciated.

Any luck with this? I'm pretty much in the same boat you are I have C3000, I could try dropping a PCI 5200 in there but I haven't had the time to research or even install the card.

the "X on non-HP graphics cards issue" is somewhat documented here. If you get a kernel panic on bootup with the Framebuffer driver built statically in the kernel, try to build and load it as a module.

Code:
Starting local ...               [ ok ]

is the last message during startup. If you do not recieve a login prompt, check whether your /etc/inittab has a getty entry for the serial port you are connected to, like these
Code:

s0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100
s1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS1 vt100

which I stole from my 735

I uncommented those two lines and it worked perfectly, thanks.

I'm going to see about getting this Matrox working also :). I'll keep you guys informed.

I compiled the matroxfb module successfully, but when I modprobe it, the system locks up. How can I catch the dmesg output? Or, better yet, how can I fix the problem all together?

If you are running a 64bit kernel on your machine, matroxfb is very unlikely to run correctly, as described here. I don't know if you can run a 32bit kernel on that machine, but it should work that way.

Nope, not using a 64-bit kernel.

Code:
Processor type (PA8000 and up)  --->
[ ] 64-bit kernel
[ ] Symmetric multi-processing support


What else could it be?
