It just hangs at the boot-up screen, repeatedly adding 'GRUB' to the top line of text. Hmm, "GRUB" isn't very informative. That particular string should only be printed once when the stage1 loader (the part that is installed in your MBR) executes. If this is appearing multiple times, my best guess is that your stage1 file in /boot/grub/ is corrupt, or was somehow built incorrectly. You don't have "custom-cflags" in USE, do you? What does "equery check grub" and "md5sum /lib/grub/i386-pc/stage1 /boot/grub/stage1" report? -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
