I cannot even get the machine to boot if I don't disable ACPI :) The |
| 15 |
standard gentoo 1.4 has it disabled by default, but the SELinux live CD |
| 16 |
requires me to type to get all the way through the boot up |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
permissive acpi=off |

However I have not tried disabling apic. Do you know why this problem |
| 21 |
would only occur during the bootstrap? If I reboot the LiveCD, mount |
| 22 |
the drives, and continue on the next step everything works fine. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
The system has been running fine since then. FYI, I based my kernel |
| 25 |
config off the LiveCDs config. I also reemerged ncurses (on a fully |
| 26 |
installed SELinux machine) and it made in through without hanging....so |
| 27 |
I'm at a loss. When I have time I'll capture another output of the |
| 28 |
bootstrap process hanging again to determine if it always hangs in the |
| 29 |
same spot. |
