It's 5AM and I'm going to try and answer as much as I can to get more info. Things are very hosed up with this machine after whatever instructions I gave grub didn't work. At the point where I'm supposed to get a grub splash screen I get a blinking cursor, then it flashes for less than a second some of the rootnoverify part from grub.conf so it's finding something, and then I get a message about windows not starting because \system32\hal.dll is missing. I have not yet this morning booted again from the install CD and chrooted into the new 64-bit install. As I said, it's 5AM. OK, specific to this response there's nothing on the Safe_Cflags page about this specific processor. (i5-661) I'll continue to study that and take a very conservative path. Today all I want is to boot Gentoo with nothing but @system. I'm happy to build that 10 times over with new CFLAGS if necessary before going on to ANYTHING in @world. I don't NEED Gentoo just yet - I want it but don't need it. What I need is to get grub working and be able to boot into Windows first so I'm going to focus on that. Thanks, Mark
