Installing 1.1a from gentoo-i686-1.1a.iso IBM Thinkpad 770Z, Pentium II 256M 14G (currently has Mandrake 8.2 installed) The CDRW works on 2 other machines Error messages: RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0 crc errorFreeing initrd memory: 7142k freed .... Warning: Unable to open an initial console ..... kernel panic Note on 1.1 r1 the initial error was different: RAMDISK (etc) invalid compressed format(err=1)Freeing initrd memeory 7121k freed
Don't know. It's possible you have a bad CD burn (but probably not), or that our kernel doesn't like your ThinkPad 770Z for some reason.
Maybe you need to tweak some BIOS settings, like the "memory hole" setting? Still not quite sure what's going on.
Hmmm.... someone with a ThinkPad 600 (search to see it) is having a similar weird kernel boot problem. Odd.
Hi Keith Its being a while but still. I was helping one person on #gentoo with similar problem. In the end this appeared to be caused by faulty memory. Could you please run memtest86 on this laptop to check that? http://www.teresaudio.com/memtest86/
There's a problem, from what I hear, in booting from CD-RW's
i also had this problem on older pc's ... i just rebooted and tried again and it worked

hmm i guess i posted that cpuburn ebuild to the wrong bug :) anyways, closing bug due to the fact that the specified iso is old, and the bug reporter has kinda disappeared ...
