Description lilian abraham 2002-06-21 09:16:16 UTC

I tried to boot CD on a IBM TP600E Laptop. It load the kernel, then rescue.gz, 
next it indicated ready, and finally when it tried to uncompress Linux... i 
got "invalid compressed format (err=2)", "-- System halted"
The same CD is running on a Toshiba 440CDT.

Regards

Same thing happened to me a Thinkpad 600 Laptop, running the 1.2 CD

Does it still happen with the 1.4_rc1 iso?

Please try the latest experimental livecd 
(http://www.gentoo.org/dyn/experimental/livecd/) and grab the 2002122100 
version. See if it helps any. You may also want to see if there is a BIOS 
upgrade available for your laptop (just in case this is an IBM issue)

Ignore me <<< We are having Bugzilla database issues.

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.
