[gentoo-user] getnoo system freeze at boot on - mounting misc binary format filesystem

[thelma]

New installation.
When I boot system freeze after:
mounting misc binary format filesystem   ..... [OK]

I run fsck.ext4 on all partitions.  I can login to the system via ssh 

dmesg doesn't show any errors:

It has something to do with EFI.  
I did not configure the system to use EFI with grub.  When the system boots the fonts on the screen are large.  It display on the screen everything up the point:
...
mounting misc binary format filesystem   ..... [OK]

at this point the fonts are changed and the screen is not not displaying anything it looks like it is frozen and the is no "login" prompt.
When I enable XDM the boot login shows up and I can long-in via "slim" login manager.

In make.conf:
...
INPUT_DEVICES="evdev"
VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia"
 
Does it have something to do with "x11-base/xorg-server"  or "nvidia" driver?
How to configure the system so it will display/switch the fonts during boot on the screen?

These are kernel messages, which means the bootloader has loaded the
kernel and got out of the way, so it is highly unlikely it is anything to
do with EFI.

You did, check the GRUB_PLATFORMS flag for grub.

This sounds like kernel modesetting kicking in, you can turn this off in
your kernel options. I think it is nomodesetting, but that's from
unreliable memory so check the docs.

I have seen things you lusers would not believe.
I've seen Sun monitors on fire off the side of the multimedia lab.
I've seen NTU lights glitter in the dark near the Mail Gate.
All these things will be lost in time, like the root partition last
week. Time to die.
