OK. I've decided that I'm tired of messing with Gentoo. There's just
too many things I don't understand about it, and I simply don't have
either the time or the attention span to mess with it anymore. I wiped
Gentoo off my box (after backing it up my my 2TB external drive) and
installed slackex off a LiveUSB that I made back in April when I got
this computer. I've rebooted it about thirty times in the past two
hours. Grub claims that it can't find my kernel. I installed slack on
/dev/sda4. I ran /root/install-boot.sh on /dev/sda4 /dev/sda. I
mounted /dev/sda4 and looked to see that the kernel filename was indeed
what grub was trying to load. It wasn't. Grub was trying to load my
kernel plus "-huge". I manually changed grub.cfg and rebooted again.
Same error. I rebooted with my LiveUSB. X failed to start. I rebooted
with the LiveUSB again. A whole bunch of stuff failed. I'm pretty sure
the prompt said something like "memory/files" At this moment I have NO
linux system AT ALL. Please help. I'm trying to think about this the
way a normal non-Gentoo user would, but I'm having great difficulty
doing so. Just trying not to panic too much at this moment.
