Description Ryan Dooley 2002-08-05 08:48:33 UTC

I'm trying to install Gentoo 1.2 (tried 1.3a as well) on a SGI Visual 
Workstation 230 (VIA based motherboard).  The system boots RedHat 7.x and 
Debian 3.0/Stable.  I've attached a dmesg output from the debian installation.

how far does the gentoo boot get ?

Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev

2002-09-05 14:22:57 UTC

lack of information to help in finding bug source ... closing ...

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.
