Re: [gentoo-hardened] LiveCD install oddity

[Michael Ihde]

Here is the info I have.  The machine hangs with or without framebuffer
and I have tried to disable *all* power management in the BIOS, however
it still seems that some is still occuring :)

The tail of the bootstrap stdout is below. I'll try a normal liveCD when
I have time.

(I'm assuming that this is where it hangs)
