Description Collin L. 2004-03-07 12:04:17 UTC

I am attemtping to install Gentoo on a G3 minitower with an Apple Ultra-Scsi HDD.  It cannot be done with either the ppc or G3 livecds as neither series includes the sym53c8xx driver.  There are workaroundds but I would appreciate it if future livecds could include the sym53c8xx as a module for those of us that need it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Obtain system with Apple Ultra-Scsi HDD
2. Attempt install.
3.

Actual Results:  
The installation failed.

Expected Results:  
I would expect that I could modprobe the sym53c8xx module and have the install
operate properly.
