Hi, I'm installing a new computer w/ gentoo (had Windows 2003 Server on it before). I'm installing from the minimal installation CD (tried w/ knoppix before). BUT today I OFTEN get IDE READ errors and afterwards - no command works. No shutdown, no halt, nothing. Pressing the Power button don't do anything either (oh GREAT) - I have to pull the cable (!). It seems it gets worse. The same happened w/ the knoppix CD i tried to use for booting yesterday - at first OK, then read errors, getting worse --- what gives?? Has anyone tips how to handle this (no, getting a new CDROM drive is not a FAST option :-() ciao, Wolfgang
