Installed Fine BUT v. 8 64 bit Gnome Won't Boot

[dhinds]

After running the live DVD w/ no problems, v. 8 Gnome 64 bit Installed Fine [on a btrfs partition] BUT the OS Won't Boot!

On Gigabyte X58 Motherboard with an Intel i7, 16 Gb DDR3 RAM and a Gigabyte Graphics Card for a BenQ FP93GW monitor.

The Loading Kernel graphic appears but the little ball never goes away, the screen goes dark and Sabayon won't load.

I reinstalled but the same thing happens.

I also unplugged a USB2 flash memory (thumb drive) but that didn't help.

I had no problems with v. 6 (except the 14 Gb I gave the partition was too small). I gave this one twice as much but ...

Any suggestions?

can you hit alt f2 and see where it's stopping at?

Sure. I'll do that and get back to you with the response.

"Preparing the system for boot, then the percentage loaded (which was well above 60%, before the screen went black, with the movable rotating ball for a cursor). I've let it run for quite a while but it hasn't finished loading, yet. I've also tried booting the maintenance version but get the same results".

And the browsers installed in version 6 aren't connecting to the Internet, which is why I booted to OpenSuse 11.4 - which the Sabayon 8 installation actually fixed.

This issue hasn't been resolved.
