User-Agent: Build Identifier: With both the pentium3 and i686 1.4_rc2 grp livecds on a scsi pentium3 system, at boot I get a hard lockup at "Scanning for hamachi...". The system hard disk activity light stays on, and so does the cdrom access light. The motor of the cdrom drive never goes down to a slower speed, it continues at the speed it was at during lockup. The system must be reset or powered off. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert i686 or pentium3 grp livecd 1.4_rc2 2. Reboot system 3. Attempt to boot as normal Actual Results: Last message seen is "Scanning for hamachi..." , and system hangs hard with disk activity lights on, and cdrom speed constant, that is never slowing down. Expected Results: The livecd should have booted normally, getting me to a prompt.

Have you tried passing acpi=off while booting yet? more then likely it. also noapic, if those dont do it. youll have to use nonet and manually insmod your eth0 module. let me know.
I'll have to try that. It is a work machine that I won't have access to until Tuesday. I'll get back to you, thanks.
Okay, what solved it in the end was nonet. Any idea if this is a bug in the hardware here, or something on the livecd? Thanks for the help!
more then likely a bug on the livecd, but sometimes its hard to get around lockups when probin for hardware. It will be looked into though
db fix
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.
