I just bought me a MSI K7D Master L motherboard and when trying to boot Gentoo 1.4 RC1 CD (Only one i have burned at the moment) it comes up with a partition check and freezes. it runs windows no problem, running 2003 server now, had XP on a while ago. anyway, i tried redhat 9.0, it boots and starts installing, but i get a kernel panic, but no info because its in gui and no logs are created since its an install. suse 7.3 eval boot CD works grand, no problems what so ever. so what can i do? i have 1.4Rc4 downloaded, but i havent burned it yet. will soon. is there any problems with this board? i havent updated the BIOS, its the one out of the box (not sure version number now). i have the new bios here, but havent installed it yet. sorry about the ramblingins. any ideas though? I really want to run linux on this box. PS. only 1 CPU in it at the moment. waiting on my MP chips. its just a standard non MP chip. could that be a problem? Also i hear kernel 2.4.21 is out. would that fix the problem?
