Using install-amd64-minimal-2007.0.iso the thing boots and tells me the kernel is linux livecd 2.6.24-gentoo-r5 smp, i686 amd athlon 64 x2 dual core processor authentic AMD. Extracting the stage3 tarball from
<ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/gentoo/releases/amd64/2007.0/stages/stage3-amd64-2007.0.tar.bz2> and attempting chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash --login; gives me: chroot: cannot run command '/bin/bash': Exec format error attempting to run /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash at all gives me: bash: /mnt/gentoo/bin/bash: cannot execute binary file Google hasn't gotten me anything obvious. Machine is a Shuttle micro-atx w/ dual-core Athlon64, nVidia MCP67 controller. One other oddity: the minimal install boots, but the livecd+install has problems: it gets to starting mdev and hangs. Is this a known issue (hopefully with a fix)? or is the 2008 B2 the best way out? thanx -- Steven Lembark 85-09 90th St. Workhorse Computing Woodhaven, NY, 11421 [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1 888 359 3508 -- [email protected] mailing list
