23. 1. 2004: RESOLVED !! Error can be avoided by precise BIOS setup In BIOS Main menu->IDE Configuration; I have used "Enhanced Mode" + "P-ATA+S-ATA" for my Mainboard-HDD combination even it didn't make sence to me. For other people with same board: try all combination of this options.
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.
