Trying the LiveCD 2005.1 on a Compaq ProLiant DL-380 results in a hang up when starting gpm from init during Bootup. The kernel loads perfectly, just the gpm hangs. It says: "Starting gpm ... " (or loading gpm, don't remember exactly) and stops here. No movement any more, but I can still press F2 to switch the views. I tried to plug off mouse and/or keyboard after pressing ENTER for gentoo kernel boot but it doesn't help. It's a ProLiant DL-380 Server with a Single Xeon 3.06GHz and 1GB of RAM. Also a SCSI-SmartArray Controller 5i with 72GB Hotplug Discs is installed. Important: Using an older Gentoo-LiveCD like one of 2004 works perfectly ! No hangs during the boot. And one bet: Provide netcat and dd on the minimal Live-CD to have easy network cloning possibilities ! It would be worth it ... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Having a ProLiant DL-380 G3 Xeon 3,06Ghz 2. Putting in Live-CD 2005.1 3. Boot up using the normal "gentoo" Kernel Actual Results: A Hangup at "Starting/Loading gpm ..." during boot Expected Results: Continueing the boot sequence Sorry, can't, no Gentoo install possible :(

No. If you want a complete environment, use the LiveCD under /experimental instead. We won't be adding *anything* not required for a Handbook installation to the minimal CD.
