Re: [gentoo-user] AMD64 - which stage3 file for new install?
John, As per a thread over the last couple of days I was planningon using the 2005.0 CD that I've used for a number of other machines, but that CD doesn't have any 64-bit stuff on it. If there's a 64-bit install CD then I'll go look for that. Thanks for the info!

Yeah, there's a 2005.1 amd_64 universal install. I know, because I just used it to set up 4 servers :) On Aug 30, 2005, at 2:57 PM, Mark Knecht wrote: John, As per a thread over the last couple of days I was planningon using the 2005.0 CD that I've used for a number of other machines, but that CD doesn't have any 64-bit stuff on it.

Re: [gentoo-user] AMD64 - which stage3 file for new install?
well, not sure what stage files, if any that one has on it. I used the universal installer. On Aug 30, 2005, at 3:15 PM, Mark Knecht wrote: Thanks.

Re: [gentoo-user] AMD64 - which stage3 file for new install?
Yeah, I decided to go for the Universal install since it has stage files. Seemed that the Minimal didn't. I'd forgotten that. The AMD64 will be nicer to install from. I'm getting 65MB/S DMA on the hard drive whereas the x86 Universal didn't have the right chipset stuff and I was only getting 2.5MB/S. Two problems I've seen with the AMD64 Universal CD so far: 1) Console #2 doesn't go to a console. It stays with the boot up graphics. I have to use Alt-Ctl-F3 to get to a second terminal. 2) The path in the login message telling you how to start links to get the install docs is incorrect. Both pretty minor. Install underway if I can get comfortable with LVM2 Thanks, Mark On 8/30/05, John Jolet [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: well, not sure what stage files, if any that one has on it.
