No dice = no luck. It's not a very common phrase, at least not where I live. Anyway, the same problem is still here. When the BIOS gives GRUB control, it shows a message that it's loading stage 1.5. And then, almost instantly, the system reboots. I don't know if stage 1.5 loads or not. I don't suppose there's a way to recompile it to show debugging output? > >>The 'd' option is a workaround for BIOSs that get confused about which > >>drive is being used to boot. > > > >No, I haven't had problems booting before.

Don't assume the BIOS > isn't brain damaged, just because Windows likes it. No, I haven't. The 2004.3 LiveCD would hang when booted because it couldn't get the right timings for the HPT372N, or something like that, I forget. 2005.0 (2.6.11-gentoo-r3) is the first Gentoo LiveCD to support my controller, so there still might be a few bugs to work out. If it helps any, it's a Highpoint HPT372N IDE RAID controller, integrated into my motherboard (DFI LANParty PRO875B, Intel i865 "Canterwood" chipset). The hard drive in question is a Western Digital, 120 GB ATA/100, 2 MB cache. -- Colin -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
