Installing gentoo on Soekris Net4801 - not booting
 

Hi,
I'm trying to reinstall Gentoo on my Soekris Net4801 but after a fresh install it won't boot.
Via the serial port I can see grub booting:"GRUB Loading stage1.5.


GRUB loading, please wait..."
Then nothing else but a blinking cursor.
Any idea how I can debug that?

Thank you--
Jean-Marc

I added options in grub.conf to make kernel speak on ttyS0 but that didn't help.
I tried with Lilo, it's not much better but but at least it says "No such image".

Any idea what that means?
Thank you,JM

Check that your kernel is speaking on the serial port.



I for one have had annoying trouble with GRUB on two instances, and

then I went back to using LILO as I have always, and it continues to

always just work, also with 3TB GPT drives in an old server..
