I'm trying to install gentoo on x86 using version 1.4 rc4, and have run into a minor but increibly irritating problem. After boot when I'm dumped to the command prompt, the progress bar which ticked off and advanced while gentoo was detecting my devices keeps on going, writing itself to the screen while I try and type commands. This makes it really hard to type commands, but not impossible. The shell seems to ignore the characters that make up the progress bar, but it's a triffle hard for me to :). I do get a segfault while it's detecting my devices, but that doesn't seem to have stopped the ethernet from comming up (I can ping yahoo for instance). I've tried the 800 frame buffer and no frame buffer and both do the same thing. Any suggestions on stopping this. Thanks :)
