Yes, I removed APIC because it kills Dell Inspiron laptops. I can add support for it back, but disable it by default with noapic. I'll do this for the next CD and I'll keep this bug open until it's officially fixed. Thanks for the quick reply and for the forthcoming fix. Looking forward to getting gentoo on this box. I saw that Gentoo 1.2 is out. I downloaded it and tried "rescue apic" on it, but it still doesn't work. Is there a reason why it was left out of 1.2, or am I doing something wrong? No new information here, just a heads up that this affects quite a few of the old va-linux models making gentoo quite uninstallabe without jumping through some hoops ;) go to http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/ and download a CD with a date of "20021221" or later. These CDs have APIC auto-enabled, and will continue to work this way. People with APIC issues can type "gentoo noapic" at the boot prompt. Closing this bug :) go to http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/ and download a CD with a date of "20021221" or later. These CDs have APIC auto-enabled, and will continue to work this way. People with APIC issues can type "gentoo noapic" at the boot prompt. Closing this bug :) Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux". I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers, this is the only reasonable way to do this. |
