Using the gentoo minimal installation CD 2011-03-03, kernel automatically reboots during the step (which I can't read because it disappears too fast) after saying "loading firmware". Problem disappears loading the kernel with the option acpi=off, but I don't understand why.
do not add yourself arch team please
Please add a comment to this bug report the output of lspci -vv.
I'm sorry for being late but now I have no access to the ssh service to post the lspic -vv. I will do it as soon as possible. I'm sorry for adding me to the arch team too, this is the first bug I report.
Created attachment 266555 [details] the requested lspci -vv
@kernel: any ideas?
I have succeeded in reading what shows before rebooting: "not starting APM bios support "
i have been away for a while, is there anything new about this?
problem solves if instead of acpi=off I set when running the kernel the memory to 3800MiB with mem=3800m.
I have compiled a new kernel and the problem has disappeared. if I compile the kernel with genkernel and the configuration from the cd the problem appears again and solves the same way.

You mean that if you compile the kernel manually you don't hit this issue and that if you use genkernel with the config used for the CD you do?
Yeah exactly
Can you please test the latest CD?
I can't test this.
