Hi had the smae problem on a dell with this chipset. Its not so much the chipset, but that the dell has a gap in the numbering of devices attached to it that the livecd cant deal with.
The cure was to boot from a redhat 7 livecd and install from that. Worked fine. Also, dell has a "legacy" mode for the chip selectable in the bios - install has to be done in legacy mode, which can then be disabled when the new system is up and running on its own kernel. google will help a lot with this one BillK Chuanwen Wu wrote: > The chipset is ICH8. > So,is there anyway you see I can install gentoo on my machine? > I have install Red Flag.But it 's i686 but not x86_64,so I can't > chroot from the Red Flag to install Gentoo. > > 2007/10/7, Hex Star <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hello, you probably have a recent chipset (blanking on name currently) which > > is recent such that support is not yet present in the linux kernel... > > > > > -- > wcw -- William Kenworthy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Home in Perth! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
