Ok, this is weird. After I let the underscore blick for 10 seconds (the countdown time), the console shows up loading all the modules, but there are lines going down the screen and the text is all smudged. After maybe, 30 seconds (towards the end up the bootup), the lines disappear and the text is readable. I still can't see the GRUB menu, however.
Figured it out! No need for /boot since it's already on its own parition. So, I can now see the different boot options and immediately after, the console loading the different modules. Thanks for all the help, Endless and Dr Unne. :)
Hurrah! xD
So it was the path that was incorrect (used (hd0,something)/boot/grub/stuff instead of (hd0,something)/grub/stuff)?
Gentoo symlinks /boot/boot to /boot just because that's such a common problem. Grub is not my friend.
At least it works now though.
Yep. Oh, and Unne I was able to find a backup of xorg.conf in the form of xorg.conf~. :D
nano is better than I thought then. But you should learn vim anyways.
