1 Hi all, I'm trying to boot with gentoo alpha install cd on a DS25
2 (titan).
3 It seems that all images (minimal, universal-2006.1, minimal-2006.1)
4 have the same aboot.conf message:
5
6 # Option 0, the default, boots /boot/alpha with the graphics console.
7 # Option 1 boots legacy, a kernel compiled with LEGACY_START_ADDR
8 specified.
9
10 where there is no /boot/alpha. There is only /boot/gentoo and I guess
11 LEGACY_START_ADDR is specified in this kernel, it doesn't boot on titan.
12 Is there an alternate install cd with a kernel without
13 LEGACY_START_ADDR specified?
14 I would like to have a runnning 2.6 system so that I can chroot into
15 the installed gentoo and upgrade the system (i.e. glib 2.5 won't
16 compile with a 2.4 kernel).
17
18 Thanks, these DS25 are driving me crazy!
