Ok I use to be a slackware user and decided to up my skills and use gentoo.... Ok I been following a bunch of treads http://scottstuff.net/blog/articles/2005/03/17/msi-rs480m2-il-athlon-64-motherboard-mini-review
OK if I use the live CD and boot gentoo it keeps on trying to auto detect and stays on the green thing and keeps on staying there
if I use gentoo noapic it stays on loading moudles sata_sil
I tried to boot knoppix 4.0 and then install gentoo but it only support x86 but I just want to use the live CD and get it going I'm I missing something or this moterboard doesn't support SATA linux install? |

| you could make this a lot easier by installing via knoppix and using the amd64 stage 3 install. once you get there you can configure the kernel accordingly for amd64 and sata. my laptop (yeah, an x86) has sata and works fine. |

Yes, you most likely can use the gentoo live cd.
Just have the cd skip the probes that are holding up the show. You can probably skip alot and then modprobe just the modules you need. I would start with nodetect. Since your a slackware user, I don't think this will be a problem for you :=)
Here are the cheat codes from the install handbook:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=2#doc_chap2
| Code: |
Code Listing 3: Options available to pass to your kernel of choice
- agpgart loads agpgart (use if you have graphic problems,lockups)
- acpi=on loads support for ACPI firmware
- ide=nodma force disabling of DMA for malfunctioning IDE devices
- doscsi scan for scsi devices (breaks some ethernet cards)
- dopcmcia starts pcmcia service for PCMCIA cdroms
- nofirewire disables firewire modules in initrd (for firewire cdroms,etc)
- nokeymap disables keymap selection for non-us keyboard layouts
- docache cache the entire runtime portion of cd in RAM, allows you
to umount /mnt/cdrom to mount another cdrom.
- nodetect causes hwsetup/kudzu and hotplug not to run
- nousb disables usb module load from initrd, disables hotplug
- nodhcp dhcp does not automatically start if nic detected
- nohotplug disables loading hotplug service
- noapic disable apic (try if having hardware problems nics,scsi,etc)
- noevms disable loading of EVMS2 modules
- nolvm2 disable loading of LVM2 modules
- hdx=stroke allows you to partition the whole harddrive even when your BIOS
can't handle large harddrives
- noload=module1,[module2,[...]]
disable loading of specific kernel modules
|
so at the cd boot prompt:
gentoo nodetect nousb noscsi nodhcp nofirewire |
