Hi! I have downloaded several times the minimal CD for the architecture IA64 and I can't boot from it. I thought it was a problem a problem with my drive, but by thinking to create a gentoo minimal system USB boot stick I discovered, that the isolinux directory is completly missing what is mostly the problem of the "not booting" case. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download from bugzilla the image 2. burn it 3. change your bios to boot from your CD/DVD rom at 1st, and it won't boot! Actual Results: The computer ignores the CD and jumps to the 2nd boot device in the bios list, which is my harddisk Expected Results: booting the cd and starting the mininmal bootcd
What machine do you have?
I have a ASUS Board with a Core 2 DUO machine with 1GB of RAM
Uhh, it's not booting because you're using the wrong CD. Try the AMD64 media. You'll have a lot better luck.
you are completly RIGHT. I just looked at intel an discovered that the Core2DUO Cpu has it's own 64Bit commandset which has nothing to do with the IA64. as you described, I tried the AMD64 bit gentoo cd and it booted. The problem is, during the boot (mtab) that he looks for /dev/hda and then stops. I am running at the moment ubuntu and discovered that /dev/hda is not available. My IDE DVDWriter is known as /dev/scd0 and SATA disks as usual as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb....... do you know how I can fix that problem?
