the entire system hangs when performing the "mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo" after having performed # mkswap /dev/hda2 # swapon /dev/hda2 when using the smp-kernel Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot the live-cd with the x86-basic-1.4-20030911.iso 2.configure the harddrives as mentioned in the gentoo-tutorial part 1 chapter 4 3.# mkswap /dev/hda2 4.# swapon /dev/hda2 5.# mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/gentoo Actual Results: the cursor blinks a mere second, then the entire system hangs. it can't be accessed neither by telnet nor by a sole ping. a switch to another console doesn't work either. the NUM-LOCK, SCROLL-LOCK, CAPS-LOCK indicators are dead. this persists until the power-cord is disconnected an reconnected or the power- button is short-circuit for at least 5 seconds Expected Results: wehen using the normal kernel of the live cd after having done the steps to reproduce after the fraction of a second the prompt reapears and the installation-process could be continued as described in the gentoo-tutorial Intel Pentium III 933 (dual) 256MB PC133 SD-RAM 1x18GB SCSI sda (ID0) for the gentoo 1x36GB SCIS sdb (ID4) not used, reserved for WinXP Pro
sorry, the commands actually are/were: # mkswap /dev/sda2 # swapon /dev/sda2 for both the description an the "steps to reprocedure" originally correct posted, but when hit "submit bug report"-button he stated i had forgotten to enter a component and when hit the back-button the entire entries made were scrubbed. so i rushed down the entries from scratch overlooking the "/dev/hda"-statements whay can't i alter my previous posted bug-report?
this is actually encountered when you have initially formated the partitions with the uniprocessor-kernel (that's what i 've done)
try a 2004.0 livecd
