Re: [gentoo-dev] problem making a bootable gentoo CD-Rom

[Francis]

Hi,

I made a new test, but I had the same problem. I have an interesting 
information:
initrd.800 is found, and initrd.1024 is not. I suppose the problem comes from 
the 4 letters in "1024", that does not respect the 8.3 names. You are right. 
I will rename files, and it will work. I don't know how the official gentoo 
live CD is build in order to work with long filenames.

Thanks
regards
