 |
|
When booting the universal cd I downloaded and properly checksummed from University of Indiana, it will NOT boot gentoo or gentoo-nofb kernels. Hangs with an "invalid compressed image format" error. smb and smb-nofb kernels work just fine. Note that this is not the basic cd, but the universal one.
It checksummed perfectly, so I don't know if UI has a bad .iso and then checksummed it themselves or what, but I'll dl the .iso from another mirror and boot it just to be sure.
UPDATE: A copy downloaded from another source and checksummed also exhibits this behavior, however only on my Thinkpad 380XD. The cd boots properly in other machines.

Nothing, eh? No ideas?
I would be inclined to think it's the cdrom, but it boots pleanty of other bootables correctly, and all three isos I've burned have exhibited precisely the same problem.

Did you ever find a solution for this? I'm having the same problem.
I'm using the 2005.0 minimal cd at the moment. |

I have the same problem using the 2005.0 minimal cd, if I choose the "gentoo" kernel, my PC just does a restart, if I use gentoo-nofb I get the error message mentioned above.

| Im curious how you burned your CD? What OS did you have on the machine used to burn it and how was the image burned? I know they give some pretty specific instructions on how to burn the image and I was worried it wasnt going to work for me because I wasnt sure if I had complied or not. If you burn it from a Linux machine you have to specify some stuff to burn it correctly. |

On the one hand, he definately burned it correctly b/c | Quote: | | The cd boots properly in other machines. |
If your just asking that question for yourself, the best way to find out how if you burned properly is to try it!
