I have an Adaptec SCSI adapter: scsi0 : Adaptec AIC7XXX EISA/VLB/PCI SCSI HBA DRIVER, Rev 6.2.8 <Adaptec 29160B Ultra160 SCSI adapter> aic7892: Ultra160 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 32/253 SCBs I tried to boot from the new LiveCD: gentoo-basic-1.4-20030803 with "gentoo doscsi" parameters at the promt. It normally detects aic7xxx and hangs afterwards when trying to load old aic7xxx. There is no problem with LiveCD-1.4rc4
have you tried the "smp" kernel, its basically the 1.4-rc4 kernel (xfs-sources 2.4.20)
I tried to pass "smp" at boot promt, but here what it says: Could not find kernel image: smp So, as I understand, there's no smp kernel with this livecd?
seems some of the livecds were created without the smp kernel accidently, new cds should fix this issue
