1 Hi,
2 I have Gentoo 1.2 installed, but I used hdparm -d 0 to
3 disable the DMA for my ACER 32 X CD before unzipping
4 stage files. I get errors if the DMA is enabled :-((
5
6 Now when Gentoo 1.4 rc1 is ready I'm stuck with kernel
7 panic at the boot - when tyring to populate the links.
8 The livecd doesn't take any kernel params – it
9 automatically boots, though I'm not sure there is
10 param for stopping DMA. Anyway it would be helpful in
11 some situations to be able to pass params.

13 Also are you going to support normal install CD (not
14 live CD with installed Gentoo) like in 1.2 ? Or can
15 you make it optional? This part with the mouting and
16 extracting really fails on old cdroms like mine :-(
