But, really, I think BIOS settings and > driver presence are the more likely culprit. Here it is: gcc -Q --help=target -march=native I agree tho that checking those BIOS setting is a good start. If that fails, boot a CD or something, chroot in, do a emerge -e system. Maybe make some corrections to the kernel then try booting. Oh, I'd rebuild the input drivers to, mouse and keyboard. Check the USE flags too. I'm not sure what all options they have. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
