Product: gentoo-2004.0-x86-20040123.iso Steps to reproduce: Boot up with the livecd. Expected Result: the system boots Description: Upon starting up the beta livecd and choosing "experimental" for a kernel option, I get a kernel oops which does not allow me to continue testing the build. I did not receive any error when using the default (2.4) kernel so I believe it fair to isolate the problem to the experimental kernel. The following contains the output re-typed from the kernel oops and a detailed description of my hardware. ================================================================================================== The Kernel Oops: INIT: Entering runlevel: 3 * Staring metalog [ ok ] * Starting USB and PCI hotplugging .....

Is there anything from /proc that is needed?
I'm also having problems with hot plug causing a panic, we do however share a driver, aic7xxxx. Other then that our systems aren't very close to being the same. I'm running an Athlon 64 3200+ on the ECS 755-a, emu10k1, GeForce 3, and Adaptec U160 (29160) SCSI controller, usb mouse is the only plugged in USB device. Hot plug appears to choke on the aic7xxx driver. This seems kinda odd since the driver is already loaded. Im not sure if this could be part of the same problem or different issues altogether, but both of us having problems with hotplug and using the aic7xxx drivers raised the redflag. I'd love to post the output but I'm not about to write all that down and then type it back out, so if theres a better way please let me know.
have you tried the 2004.0 cd yet?
Closing due to no response
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.
