Launching the Gentoo 1.4rc4 install CD, i type gentoo as kernel to load, select my keyboard, and let the installation do its job. Then it detects my CPU, does the hardware detection (up to 100%), and then, nothing, system lockup, no HD access nor CDROM access, Ctrl-Alt-Del does not work, but NumLock works (not usual for a crash). I just have to do reset on my computer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start installation, selecting gentoo 2. Choose 80*25 for display 3. Choose fr keyboard 4. Wait. After the hardware detection, it seems crashed Actual Results: Crash. No access on HD nor CD. No Ctrl-Alt-Del Expected Results: Continue the installation! Can't go up to a console, so can't paste emerge info.

Can you try a 1.4_final cd and let me know how it works? it should work fine.
please test with 1.4 final
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.
