Description fbxmaster 2004-12-20 08:06:48 UTC

When wanting to install from gentoo universal livecd  2004.3 both orig and r1, I get a error: "psmouse.c: bad data from KBC - bad parity" constantly in console.
rendering it impossible for me to install gentoo :-).

Trying to install on my Acer Travelmate 540 Laptop with a synatptic mouse pad.

Never had this error before 2004.3 live cd.

Best Regards
fbxmaster

Try booting the LiveCD with "gentoo psmouse.proto=imps" and see if you still have a problem.
