Description James Torrance 2002-12-22 09:56:52 UTC

I consider this a bug but forgive me if you don't. I
d/l'd the live CD yesterday and to my suprise the
kernel couldn't recognize my generic SCSI setup (symbios
8251S + IBM DCAS-34330 HD). cfdisk just gave me an error
message about the partition table. I pulled the SCSI setup
out and put in an IDE drive and had no trouble at all.

This is cutting edge software ? It's the kind of senseless
crap that we've come to expect from Linux. You guys should
try to be different. Do it right, if you can see your way clear.

Please do not use bugzilla as a forum for insults. Regarding your problem, what
version of the livecd did you try? If 1.4_rc1ish, try the "2002122100" livecd
from http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/ and post your results
(good/bad) here.
