 Posted: Mon Oct 01, 2018 8:51 am Post subject: thinkpad t410, after boot no grub, black screen, cursor |
 |
|
new install on thinkpad t410, been out of the gentoo install for a while, everything went fine until reboot, get the grub black screen with a blinking cursor to left.
grub installed w/ no errors
must have something monkeyed up, need another set of eyes on this.
trying to boot w/ UEFI, (should I use legacy?)
Noticed I have /boot/efi
and then there is /boot/efi/EFI
TIA,
JD

thanks -Hu for the formatting.
Anybody have any pointers on this?
I think my prob lies in the grub2/Uefi partition situation.
driving me nuts, ready to put a ratchet to my head. Ive been back through the boot partition /grub install numerous times at this point and I would really like to see a penguin coming off of /dev/sda.
thanks |

After kernel 4.9.72 i got nothing but problems with starting gentoo on T520 and on AMD64 with asrock motherboard 4 cores, it keeps also freezing after the first line. I think maybe it is the video driver because you see still activity on the HD after freezing until at on point nothing goes except CTRL-ALT -DEL to restart.
EVEN WITH KERNEL 4.18.64. but I fear when i see this that is more fundamental because in the 4.9.72 the problem is also present but it passes, it does not freeze unlike the later kernels.
so i suggest to use 4.9.72 until the problem is solved.
This is solved in 4.9.95

dunayiv: The file system for /dev/sda2 should be fat32. The entry in fstab for /dev/sda1 should be removed since it is setup and used by grub and is never mounted. The file system type for /dev/sda2 should be vfat.
After changing the file system type for /dev/sda2 reinstall grub and the kernel. |
