fuck gentoo.jpg
50 KB, 554x527
Hey /wsr/. so here's my problem

I decided to fall for the gentoo meme, so i followed the documentation and all that jazz, and installed GRUB 2. i compiled my kernel via genkernel. so once i unmounted everything, and rebooted , i see a grub prompt (not grub rescue) being the newfag that i am, i have no idea what to do beyond this point. any advice?
feel free to ask for any tech information.

also general tech support thread

Your next step would be to log into your system and install a DE.

THIS WILL TAKE LIKE 3+ hours to compile if you are installing gnome or kde

How am i supposed to log into the system if i can't get past grub?

learn2grub
1. ls -l Figure out which one is the partition with gentoo on it
2. set root=(hdX,Y) Obviously replace X and Y with the numbers and shit for the partition with gentoo
3. linux /boot/[vmlinuz] root=/dev/sdXY Use tab completion here. I don't know what your kernel will be named. Example for setting the root: if in step 2 it was (hd0,2) then it should probably be root=/dev/sda2
4. initrd /boot/[initramfs] Again use tab completion, I don't know what the default initramfs is on gentoo
5. boot
