The same thing happens on my laptop as well (Thinkpad Z61m, core2Duo). The |
| 22 |
Gentoo boot disks just don't have the drivers. I had to boot a Knoppix disk, |
| 23 |
install that, then do gentoo as a chroot... Which was a REAL nightmare |
| 24 |
because the knoppix was 32bit & I wanted a 64-bit install (It took messing |
| 25 |
around with a kernel from a ~amd64 desktop manually copied over as well |
| 26 |
before I could get gentoo installed correctly). |

I'd hate to have to try & rebuild... |
