Thanks, Neil. I wasn't aware of the bug report. I'm not sure whether
it is an actual bug, though, since I have three boxes with the same
vanilla Gentoo install (no LVM, no RAID, simple MBR, old 4-5 year old
Dells) and on the other two, the install worked perfectly. I haven't
been able to detect any difference in the installs, yet. There must be
one, but I can't find it. I'd like to help the other folks and find the
"bug" if possible.
