Description Gabriel Gaxiola 2006-09-23 23:04:50 UTC
The motherboard is a biostar GeForce 6100AM2 for 940 pin amd64 am2 procesors;
it will help if we can interact and chose wich device we want to be autodetected.
I skip autodetection and it hang with the xserver, i skip the xserver, and i can't
login as root to fixit manualy.

Can you be a bit more specific about where it's hanging?
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-09-25 14:26:34 UTC
Please.

Error messages, or even the last couple lines of output would help tremendously.

Also, a listing of the options that you tried on the kernel command line would help us quite a bit, as there are lots of options that could potentially resovle this problem.

I have the same problem on an HP a1630n. It uses a board OEM'd from ASUS (A8M2N-LA). Using the graphical interface hangs after spitting out information on the mouse.  Using NOFB, hangs after talking about the disks.

The board successfully boots the AMD64 Livecd 2006.0.

Does this still happen with the 2007.0 LiveCD?

No response from OP in a long time.  Marking this as NEEDINFO.
