Try the "2002122100" livecd at http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/ on the systems you had problems with. It doesn't use a floppy image. No go on both the 2002122100 and 2002122300 images. This issue is definately a BIOS issue on my end. The problem is I don't have an upgrade for the BIOS available to be able to handle the newer bootable CD specs. I'm sort of stuck in the land where a 1.44MB floppy image is the ONLY thing that will be read by the system BIOS. While I can't expect you (gentoo) to fix this... It's probably something that should be somewhere in your documentation. Check out bug 19548 the image there should fix your problem *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 19548 *** 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. |
