Comment 1 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-13 04:15:01 UTC 
Try 2004.3-r1 (I'm not interested in anything previous) and try using "gentoo-nofb noapic nosmp acpi=off" and see how far it gets.

Also, what hardwrae is that Asus notebook?
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-02-11 12:17:27 UTC 
REOPEN with more info... otherwise, I can't do anything to fix this.
