Came back from a few days away and my box was locked up. Rebooting gets me the GRUB menu but which ever kernel I selected started to boot then scrolled up reams of very nasty looking messages. Sounded like a hardware fault. So I reseated the memory, CPU, all connectors, and pulled out the CMOS battery for a few minutes. Rebooted, let the BIOS memory test run for a while, went into the BIOS setup, reset to factory defaults, did a "reset configuration data". Now on boot I just get the continuous scrolling GRUBs. I've seen it before but I can't remember what it means.... Jim -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
