Hi all.
I'm trying to install Gentoo 1.4 for AMD-64 on mine amd 64 3200+ Gigabyte motherboard. I'm getting RIP errors. I know I have to tipe idle=poll to fix it. The only place where i can type it in a boot options. However, it tell me that there is no option like that.

What am I doing wrong?
Please help!

I'm currently trying to instal Gentoo on my ADM64-based system too.
In order to boot the AMD64 experimental livecd I had to :
- disable "Legacy USB Device" in my BIOS
- boot using "nofb idle=poll nousb"

Let me know if this helps.
