It's probably worth mentioning this on the New eselesct module for /bin/sh bug: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=214817 If there are things that break when /bin/sh is not bash, then it's worth noting them, and probably fixing the root cause too. :)

[gentoo-user] problem with install-x86-minimal-20091103
Hello, I just burned the install-x86-minimal-20091103 iso on a cd and tried to boot a relatively old machine with it. Here is where it stops Mounting the squashfs filesystem mount: mounting /dev/loop0 on /newroot/mnt/livecd failed: Invalid argument !! Failed to $1; failing back to the shell... Also, somewhere at the top of the screen output during the boot process it says this is a LiveCD? I am confused here. Wasn't the minimal iso not Live in the past? Thanks for inputs. -- Valmor
