Hi,
Been a long time I haven't played gentoo. I just installed the current release version amd64 without-multilib on my VMware Fusion v5. All went well but is now stuck at
Code: | Booting `Gentoo GNU/Linux'
Loading Linux 3.6.11-gentoo ...
_ |
Any guess what went wrong ?

try rebooting and looking for disk led activity for several seconds after the screen freezes. If you have this symptom it is likely that you invoked kms graphics and have a graphics configuration problem. That type problem can be examined by booting cd and mounting the gentoo partitions and looking for dmesg at /mnt/gentoo/var/log/dmesg. If there is a dmesg graphics support is likely to be the problem. Lack of a dmesg suggests another problem in kernel configuration. adding nomodeset to the kernel line in /mnt/gentoo/boot/grub/grub.conf may allow a normal display on a reboot without repairing graphics support kernel configuration. _________________ Defund the FCC. |

you need to allocated at least 1024M of memory when in a Virtual Machine. |

Thanks for the replies... Memory allocated 4GB / 2 Cores... Think it'll be the kernel selections... _________________ WorkPC -> Xeon x3440 | Gigabyte P55-UD6 | 16GB DDR3 | HDD1 - 600GB | HDD2 - 500 GB | HDD3 - 1TB
