When booting the gentoo kernel with no options on my IBM ThinkPad A31p, an oops occurs while running hwsetup. Booting with "gentoo nodetect" does prevent the problem. Running `hwsetup -n` also results in an oops. A pass of memtest turns up nothing. I have verified the ISO's md5sum both before and after burning, and that does not appear to be the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Burn Gentoo 1.4 LiveCD. ISO is x86-basic-1.4-20030911.iso from (I believe ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo) with MD5SUM 08a8d385e5cf8152dd31a6bceca0951f. 2. Boot from media. Actual Results: Oops. Expected Results: No oops. This occurs when running hwsetup by hand, but appears similar to those values I can see after it runs as part of boot (which scrolls partially off the screen): Autoconfiguring devices...

have you tried a newer livecd to see if this problem still occurs?
let me know if this is still a problem
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.
