Hi, I'm trying to install "livecd-i686-installer-2008.0-r1.iso" on an intel P4 system and it's failing when trying to install the kernel (see log below) I've successfully installed gentoo on this machine using "livecd-i686-installer-2007.0.iso", but I could not get around the emerge "catch 22" between "portage" and "bash" (see bug #217479), so I downloaded the 2008.0-r1 livecd and got stuck on this error btw, I have another system that was installed a roughly a year ago using "livecd-i686-installer-2007.0.iso" and it's happily up-to-date through frequent emerges, so I suppose that there has been recent changes to the portage tree to cause the 2007.0 livecd to not be "updatable" anymore Any suggestions to get gentoo livecd (2007 or 2008) to install and update would be much appreciated Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install gentoo using livecd-i686-installer-2008.0-r1.iso 2. using "gentoo nox" and the command line "installer", no special options 3. after the "select timezone" step, fails trying to copy the kernel Actual Results: installer fails Expected Results: successful installation # contents of install.log.failed GLI: April 24 2009 22:58:01 - Gentoo Linux Installer version 0.6.6 GLI: April 24 2009 22:58:01 - Gentoo Linux Installer version 0.6.6 GLI: April 24 2009 22:59:00 - Mounted mountpoint: / GLI: April 24 2009 22:59:00 - Created mountpoint /boot GLI: April 24 2009 22:59:00 - Mounted mountpoint: /boot GLI: April 24 2009 23:09:37 - Stage3 was generated successfully GLI: April 24 2009 23:09:38 - fstab configured.

The installer is deprecated.
