Hi all,
 
I just installed Gentoo Linux for the first time yesterday, working from a 
stage 1 installation.  
Everything seems fine, until it's time to reboot.  (Well, the "slang" package 
isn't where the 
system expects it to be, but Google, grep, and nano pointed me to what needed 
changed and 
how to change it.)
 
When I'm booting my system, it seems to choke on my SCSI card.  It keeps doing 
a "Dump 
Card State" thing that's mostly zeroes, but includes some comments like 
"Yikes!  There is a 
loop in the find list!" in there that keep flashing by.  This behavious 
happens whether I've got 
the "doscsi" flag passed to the kernel or not.  Neither SCSI device (external 
Zip drive or 
CD-R/RW) is essential to booting the system.  Does anyone know of a way to 
bypass the 
stage of the bootup causing this, or just fix it outright without access to a 
command prompt?
 
Blaine
