23 Thanks, Neil. I wasn't aware of the bug report. I'm not sure whether
24 it is an actual bug, though, since I have three boxes with the same
25 vanilla Gentoo install (no LVM, no RAID, simple MBR, old 4-5 year old
26 Dells) and on the other two, the install worked perfectly. I haven't
27 been able to detect any difference in the installs, yet. There must be
28 one, but I can't find it. I'd like to help the other folks and find the
29 "bug" if possible.
