Description Jason Melton 2008-04-18 15:56:31 UTC

The Gentoo LiveCD doesn't have the pata_it8213 driver installed in the kernel.  On motherboards where this is the only IDE controller it makes it impossible to install Gentoo using the 2008.0 Beta 1 LiveCD from an IDE CDROM.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have a motherboard that has only has an it8213 IDE controller.  Here is the motherboard that I used: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813151169
2. Power up the system and try to begin the installation

Actual Results:  
The system was unable to find the install media.

Expected Results:  
On all the other systems that I have installed Gentoo on, the LiveCD would detect the install media and continue with the LiveCD booting resulting in a command line prompt.
