I've got the new machine built. Leadtek nForce2 based mobo, AthlonXP2100
512megs DDR2700... I couldn't get the onboard nic or a pci slot nic
fired up with my 1.4-rc2 live cd but an rc3 CD boots with the gentoo
nonet option and dhcpcd eth0 fires it up fine.
Any way, I started my install and partitioned and formatted the new 80
gig drive, then started the steps to make directories and mount the
partitions.
First thing I noticed, when I did "mkdir /mnt/gentoo" it told me it
couldn't create the directory because there already was a /mnt/gentoo.
How can that be?
While I was pondering that, the power went out.Yup, the UPS was sitting
on the dryer in the laundry room charging up....
I rebooted and the machine is hung at "Verifying DMI pool data. It sat
there like that for 10 minutes. I hit the reset and the same thing.
It's been like that for an hour now. Is my new drive toast? does anyone
have any ideas?
