[gentoo-dev] 1.4 LiveCD no boot?

[Nathan James]

I'm trying to install Gentoo on a system (Celeron 400MHz (slot), 196MB SD
RAM (1x128 & 1x64MB), TNT2, 3Com 3C905-TX REV:B NIC, Fijitsu 3GB drive,
Mitsubishi 8x burner). The system runs fine with Windows 98 so I have
concluded that it isn't a hardware problem.

 

What happens is I run the CD and it uncompresses the kernel and then does a
bit and then reboots randomly only once have I got to the prompt and then I
ran net-config eth0 and it rebooted. :-) Does anyone know what's wrong? I
have tried a lot of different boot flags. Including: nofb nodetect, gentoo
nodetect, gentoo nodetect nousb noraid nohotplug. Some others too.

 

Hopefully we can fix this. :-)
