So this is my third attempt at installing Genoo, and I seem to be getting a little bit closer each time. This final time through, I haven't had any errors. I've ajusted all of my things properly, and followed the manual almost to the letter (only exception is that I made my boot partition +256M instead of +32M because I kept getting "no more space left on disk" error, so I figured it would fix that problem; and it did)
Now I got to the end of the guide, and this time I tried lilo instead of grub and I get the same boot problem. This is what my screen looks like when I'm trying to boot.
then it'll sit there for a few seconds...then it does this
and that's it. I'm pretty sure gentoo is a little more than just a semicolon, so I don't know what the deal is. I don't want to go throuh the two hour install process again because it's quite intensive. I've already lost my NTFS partitions and lost a lot of data. I'm either doing all one or all the other; I am not going to mess with dual boot for a little while longer.
Anyway, is there anyway I can edit the bootloader to work? I'd really like to get running on my Gentoo Stage3 system! I don't mind using grub or anything, just get me working!
Oh, and if it helps, I already have these disks burnt and at my disposal:
Knoppix 3.7
Overclockix 3.8
Gentoo 2005.0
