Code:

boot:
Loading Gentoo
BIOS data check successful
Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel.


just as https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=47554

And I have select vesafb and enable vesa mode selection.

I use reiserfs, so I disable ext2,ext3 and xfs.

I try with and without the boot patch metioned in https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=47554, but the same.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

For me, boot is OK using 2.5.67-mm3 with FrameBuffer disabled in kernel compilation. I didn't need to apply any patch. When trying to compile with FrameBuffer enabled ( Using Vesa o trident driver ), it hangs at:

Code:

Configuring kernel parameters...


which is a step farther then the one u mention...

Mine boots fine with framebuffer (VESA).

Keep in mind that I've applied a patch that is somewhere around this forums :roll: because it also used to hang on the same point as it does with chrisyu.

Thank you guys.

I will apply the patch and try.

I compiled without the pacth and I changed some other options and It worked!!

I added ACPI and with VESAFB enabled and some other choices(forgotten../).

But I am not sure which one make it work.

And screen is black when I set vga=791 or 790, vga=normal is ok.

So I run in. ^_^

Now I want to configure my sound card(cs46xx), hope me good luck.
