Hi all,

after using other distributions for years I finally decided to go with
gentto to have to most flexibility. So here I am :-)

I got trough the gentoo installation up to the point of installing
grub. After the command 'grub-install /dev/hda' my machine hangs
displaying the following meassage:
   Probing devices to guess BIOS drives. This may take a long time

I already searched the net to find a solution. The only thing I could
find was on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml

The comment on my problem:
One reported cause was an exotic configuration of disk devices, like
ultra/non-ultra DMA disks on one cable.

I am installing on my notebook (only one HD) so the hint above did not
help me very much...

Any hint or tips? Thanks a lot in advance!

 Marco
