Description Stephen Degler 2003-02-20 10:39:04 UTC

I tried to install gentoo linux (i686) onto a system based on EPOX 8k3a+ system.
 I had the install drive hung off of the HPT 372 controller.  The install failed
with the typical IDE dma failure messages, so I believe this is a kernel-ide
issue.  Installation succeeded (looks great so far BTW :-) with the drive moved
to the IDE on the VIA 8233 south bridge.

livewire, this should work on the latest liveCD kernel = xfs-sources, yes?

yes, this should work on latest experimental livecds xfs-sources-pre4 through pre6 
and i know it works on the livecd i have @ www.gentoo.org/~livewire 
 
btw livecd -rc2 was xfs-sources-pre2 (before new ide core)
