Folks, |

New to Gentoo. I'm trying to install it on my desktop beige G3/300, |
| 4 |
with an upgraded CPU to a G4/500. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I'm using BootX from a small HFS partition. In the BootX Penguin panel |
| 7 |
I check all the boxes (No video drivers; Force SCSI on, etc.). I set |
| 8 |
the ramdisk to 11000 (not 8192, which seems to be the default). I |
| 9 |
choose vmlinux and the right image off the CD. I then enter the |
| 10 |
following boot arguments: |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
initrd-size=11000 |
| 13 |
root=/dev/ram |
| 14 |
init=/linuxrc |
| 15 |
automatic=method:cdrom. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Everything starts well, until I get to a list of items that begins: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
Mounting /proc ... [ok] |
| 20 |
Starting devsd ... [ok] |
| 21 |
Mounting tmpfs at /mnt/.init.d ... [ok] |
| 22 |
Caching service dependencies ... [ok] |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
And that's where the process stalls. Or alternately, it stalls farther |
| 25 |
down the list at |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Calculating module dependencies ... |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? |
