Well, |

I just got this new HP A8 laptop. |

|

After setting up the default windows, I modified |
| 6 |
the bios boot order to use the internal DVD. Then |
| 7 |
I inserted a 12.0 lived DVD. It put for |
| 8 |
small gentoo symbols across the top, then went |
| 9 |
blank after 3 minutes. The DVD drive was very active |
| 10 |
for about 5 minutes then silence? |

Any suggestions or install guides are most welcome. |

It's been a few years since I installed Gentoo on |
| 15 |
a laptop and lots has change. Right now, I'm downloading |
| 16 |
the 12.1 liveDVD to see if it will boot that. Both |
| 17 |
were the amd64-multilib version. The lived DVD work |
| 18 |
on other (older) 64amd machines I have..... |
| 19 |
If not then its on to to knoppix or ubuntu to |
| 20 |
see it will boot any linux distro. |

Years ago, when I last did a dual boot install, there |
| 23 |
was a windows method for shrinking the windows |
| 24 |
partition. Then I repartitioned the drive and put |
| 25 |
gentoo on those new partitions. Has that approached, |
| 26 |
using grub changed? The guides I seen to be finding |
| 27 |
via google, look dated. |

It a dv7 model AtB11UA (6C23CL?) from Costco. I got a week |
| 30 |
or 2 to get the dual boot working correctly, or it |
| 31 |
goes back to Costco; so any advice is welcome. |
