I have read quite a bit about the how bitchy eMachines M6805 laptop is. But |
| 10 |
hey, I got one of that before I read all those comments. I am trying to |
| 11 |
install Gentoo on my eMachines M6805 laptop. I have tried to install from |
| 12 |
"install-amd64-universal-2004.3-r1.iso", "install-amd64-minimal-2004.3.iso", |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
and minimal version. I am giving the booting option pci=noacpi. It boots |
| 15 |
perfect, but when I get a prompt I don't have any keyboard working. My |
| 16 |
laptop keyboard doesnot work. I tried to connect USB keyboard, but that |
| 17 |
doesnot work either. |

I am pretty sure the problem is it is not able to enable the USB ports, and |
| 26 |
the keyboard hardware for the laptop is just too new to find drivers during |
| 27 |
installation. |

I have read on the Gentoo install instructions that there is an emachines |
| 36 |
kernel, but non of the versions that I download |
| 37 |
("install-amd64-universal-2004.3-r1.iso", |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
"install-amd64-minimal-2004.3.iso", and minimal version) have emachines |
| 40 |
kernel. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I could find the |
| 41 |
Gentoo linux Live CD that has emachines kernel. Or how can I get the |
| 42 |
keyboard working during the installation. |
