HP G62-a21SA Notebook PC failed install

[Ingotian]

Hi,

I'm new to Sabayon but have several years experience with Ubuntu. I have just bought a new HP laptop and ran 5.3 Gnome 64 bit Sabayon successfully from a live disc, installed it from there and rebooted. Tried both standard and recovery modes and each time the Alt f1 verbose mode gets to

waiting for uevents to be processed..

and then it fails with a blank screen.

Anyone any ideas? Seems strange that it booted fine from the DVD and ran seemingly without problems from that device. Thanks in advance.

A few default responses:

Try some boot cheat codes:
Boot Methods for special ways of using Sabayon

Especially "acpi=off"

Try increasing the verbosity and noisyness of udev by loading your LiveCD/DVD/USB session, mounting the Sabayon installation, and editing etc/conf.d/udev, and turn on debugging by removing the "#" from the line: #udev_debug="YES"

Then reboot to see if you can find out where udev is hanging.

You can also do a Google search for "Sabayon waiting for uevents to be processed", but these problems seem to change over time, and the old answers may or may not be relevant.
