I'm not exactly sure what you want us to do. We don't develop most of the kernels, we just package them. Of the ones we do actually "develop", I'd say gentoo-test-sources, or gentoo-dev-sources are probably your best bets for getting things working. Keep in mind that most companies aren't jumping to release specs for their hardware, so it takes longer to get working drivers in Linux usually. As you boot from knoppix, you're using a knoppix kernel and this is a knoppix bug. Send this off to the knoppix folks. If this needs a patch we can develop or backport, I'd be happy to do it. * Please * file another bug detailing why you are having problems with the LiveCD. see also bug 20471 for sata support in livecd Also, what symptoms did you get? Did the root filesystem simply refuse to mount? Hang? OOPS? ... using 2.6.0test9 makes it very easy |
