Hey Chris
Would you take the time and post what motherboard the Supermicro is plugged
into and whether you are running 32bit or 64bit Gentoo?
Thank you, in advance.

Once again, there should be some problem with my English. It is
official Gentoo release policy to have minimal, live, and platform
releases in sync. Posting a new image to forums is not that tightly
related to policies.
No it's not, and I never suggested it was. As an Open Source project,

In all honesty, it's probably not absolutely unsupported. Switch your

Don't want to seem i recommend it, but you can try the Sabayon-miniCD
for a new install.
Don't know how actual the kernel/userspace are but in all cases newer
then 2006.1.
It's a Gentoo-based (slightly modified) distro.

If you want to install Sabayon and stay with it without ever updating
anything until the next Sabayon release, fine - but don't ever think
that Sabayon is a quick and easy way to a working Gentoo system, it most
