Hi all, after using other distributions for years I finally decided to go with gentto to have to most flexibility. So here I am :-)
I got trough the gentoo installation up to the point of installing grub. After the command 'grub-install /dev/hda' my machine hangs displaying the following meassage: Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time I already searched the net to find a solution. The only thing I could find was on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml The comment on my problem: One reported cause was an exotic configuration of disk devices, like ultra/non-ultra DMA disks on one cable. I am installing on my notebook (only one HD) so the hint above did not help me very much... Any hint or tips? Thanks a lot in advance! -- Cheers, Marco -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
