Magic mashed my Gentoox up

Post by declaration »

Gentoox was working nicely, untill I ran magic and followed all the instructions.

When I next booted gentoox up, it didnt boot, a black screen appeared.

I then changed oldlinuz to vmlinuz and deleted the new vmlinuz, but it still wont work.

Anyone have any ideas?????/

Hi, I'm new to gentoo and getoox but have had the exact same problem as above, I have also tried each of the steps listed in the first post... gentoox installs easily and is up and running straight away but as soon as i run magic it just reboots to the black screen and pretends to be a fridge...
I am new to linux so i expected to hit a few walls but i tried to magic three times each from a fresh reinstall of home3.
I am assuming i am missing somthing so any help would be apreciated.:)


I am having sooooo much fun playing with the xbox and gentoox it rocks shallax....
