I tried this with gentoo/releases/amd64/2005.0/installcd/install-amd64-universal-2005.0.iso and a friend of mine also tried the minimal.iso where it fails also. Maybe there went something wrong while compiling the iso or some isolinux issue I would assume. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
ISOLINUX won't let you use a dash in the kernel name.
but gentoo-nofb works, an there is a dash in it. isolinux was only a guess from me.
gentoo-nofb is an alias not a seperate kernel image which is why that works. Didn't Kugelfang rebuild the amd64 livecd due to this issue already?
rebuild != redistribute on the mirrors As I understood it, the new CD was still in testing. The problem is that ISOLINUX uses the - to differentiate between different configurations, these are not 2 different kernels (gentoo and gentoo-nofb) at all, but rather the same kernel booted with different options on the kernel command line.

For those how have the 2005.0 cd at boot prompt you can type this to get you going: gentoo_em64t initrd=gentoo.igz root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc looptype=squashfs loop=/livecd.squashfs udev nodevfs cdroot vga=791 BOOT_IMAGE=gentoo splash=silent,theme:livecd-2005.0 This will give you even the eye candy.
This is fixed as of 2005.1. There will only be one kernel on the livecd :-)
