Hi Davide, |
2 |
|
3 |
there have been similar issues before, try searching the history of the |
4 |
newsgroup for those messages. |
5 |
Long story short, try booting and installing Gentoo with a Kernel from |
6 |
tree 2.4, for easier use, get a Gentoo Installation-CD like 2004.3 . |
7 |
When I did setup some DS20E, booting and installing with the 2004.3 |
8 |
minimalCD went on nice and smooth, but the 2005.0 didnt even boot up |
9 |
( when using the Kernel from free 2.6 ). |
10 |
|
11 |
Hope this helps, |
12 |
|
