Hi. |
2 |
|

I'm trying to install gentoo amd64 on my new core2Duo (Thinkpad z61m |
4 |
9540-HAG). I already have it installed on my amd62 x2 desktop, so I can at |
5 |
least follow instructions that far. |
6 |
|
7 |
However... I boot the new 2006.1 CD on my laptop... It doesn't start without |
8 |
acpi=off for some reason... With acpi-off I get no network. But that's not |
9 |
fatal... Worse case I have to manually copy a kernel from my desktop that |
10 |
WILL run the tg3 and acpi at the same time... |
11 |
|
12 |
I look in the docs... The docs |
13 |
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/2006.1/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1) say |
14 |
wonderful things like a GTK+ based installer... But X won't start... I get a |
15 |
CLI. No worries I say. I 'll use the dialog based one... (installer) Oops... |
16 |
Not found... I do a find... No installer... |
17 |
|
18 |
WTF! |
19 |
|
20 |
Why are the docs for 2006.1 amd64 telling me to use a utility that doesn't |
21 |
exist? |
22 |
|
23 |
Oh frack! The liveCD can't see my disk either...(SATA). (Probably due to the |
24 |
noacpi). Well... Actually it knows there is a disk there. But can't identify |
25 |
it... |
26 |
|
27 |
Has anyone out there managed to install gentoo on a relavtively recent |
28 |
core2duo from Lenovo? Failing that, is it possible to (easily) replace the |
29 |
liveCD kernel with one that works (e.g. 2.6.18-gentoo-r2 which appears to |
30 |
boot & run my tg3 & sata disk, but of course I haven't got an emerge or |
31 |
anything now...(Bastardising around I can get the stage3 from the net, |
32 |
unpack, a kernel from my dsktop, use knoppix-32bit to build a gentoo |
33 |
filesystem with snapshot & stage3, but no emerge etc to do the rest that I |
34 |
can find... Doh!). |
35 |
