I've got our main Samba server down for migration from FreeBSD to Gentoo and I'm getting weirdities :(
Most recently, with a freshly-burned 1.4rc3 livecd, gets just past the keymap selection to the line that says "---- Mounting the CD" and hangs. I've booted another computer off the same CD and it gets past that point. The motherboard is an Abit BP6 (not overclocked or anything), with a nice IDE drive on the Hightpoint controller and a fairly generic CD drive. This machine boots a 1.4rc2 livecd just fine. Unfortunately, "emerge portage" doesn't seem to work on 1.4rc2 any more. When you get to the emerge sync emerge portage step of the install (there's the CONFIG_PROTECT and USE exports first) it gets to a certain point and then deletes its own emerge binary. Doesn't help to skip the emerge portage and bootstrap from stage 1; the same thing happens in the bootstrap process. I don't know what happens if you skip the emerge portage and go to stage three; I might have to try that if I can't get the rc3 disk to boot. Anyone else see these oddities? Did you find a workaround, or recognize where my error is? TIA, Rob -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
