Bug 470878 – install-amd64-minimal-20130516.iso: doesn't boot from usb

• Product: Gentoo Release Media
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description kik1n 2013-05-21 14:06:29 UTC]

Greetings.
Well trying to use the new image of gentoo, which is install-amd64-minimal-20130516.iso. I do not recognize anything.
At the beginning where you can choose the kernel if it recognizes the keyboard, but I press enter, load and choose the keymap does not detect the keyboard, and load rules.
Please specify another value or: Press Enter for the same, type "shell" for a shell, or "q" to skip ...

In contrast with the install-amd64-minimal-20130509.iso not happened to me, detects the keyboard and ready to install gentoo.

Do not know if it is bug.
But it is annoying that I pass the following isos equal.

Greetings.

Are you attempting to boot this from CD, or USB?  This is the first release with isohybrid run on it, so it SHOULD be usb-ready, but bug #458606	is breaking USB functionality in the initramfs (until later when udev starts).  So that affects your USB keyboard, AND the mounting of the usb storage.

Or it could be something else entirely, if you are indeed booting straight from CD.

I just tried the ISO on my ganeti server and it boots fine.

Ahhh, ok.
Well, but this bug is going to fix, I mean, in the next installment, work as in previous versions.

Excuse me, in the previous version everything ran great without any problems.

Thank you very much for answering, greetings: D

I'm booting from the CD and runs excellent, while USB no.

In that case, let's keep this open as there's a bug that needs to be fixed.

There were some recent changes to genkernel that changed handling of slowusb and cdroot, could you please accurately trace the last version that worked?

[Comment 8 Ben Kohler 2013-06-01 01:25:15 UTC]

This bug was brought on by the move to a 3.8 kernel where ehci-pci is split out into its own module, not the recent slowusb changes.  I have confirmed that gentoo.igz is missing ehci-pci, so no amount of waiting will bring up ehci-pci controllers.

These CD's are all being built with genkernel-3.4.45, we're gonna need a new release or at least a patched genkernel modules_load file to fix this.

We have had several releases on x86 and amd64 now since this was fixed, closing.
