Description Scott 2002-11-13 15:31:49 UTC
When I load the livecd, the kernel appears to load normally until I get to the 
lines: 

ISO 9660 Extensions: Microsoft Joliet Level 1 
ISOFS: changing to secondary root 

These two lines just repeat endlessly. (By endlessly I mean around 10 minutes 
which I took as enough time to realize something was wrong) 

Background: I'm running on a Dell Dimension 4400 with a P4 and 256MB RAM. I 
downloaded the iso "livecd-basic-1.4_rc1-r2.iso" using both IE6 and WS_FTP on 
Windows XP, then I burned it using Easy CD Creator 5 and also Nero. Both times 
I have the same error.  This is, of course, a fatal error. 

One more note: I tried the CD on another computer and it worked.

I tried to use my install CD again a few weeks ago, and, this time, it 
worked.  The kernel loaded correctly and I was able to install Gentoo without 
any problems.

Why it did this I do not know.  Perhaps there was a problem reading the CD.

Thanks for the attention and great distribution!

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.
