Hey
Im trying to install Gentoo to my laptop. But it fails before the installation begins.
Im trying to install with the livecd.
The nice gentoo logo is shown.
Then:
Loading gentoo..
Loading intitrd..
Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel.
And nothing more.. Why? |

What type of Laptop is it?
What processor, amount of RAM, graphics card etc?
A little bit more information about your system may enable us to assist you.

| after you boot from the 1.2 cd just download (wget) the 1.4 tarbal. This will be the same as if you had use the 1.4 iso. |

Once you've emerged any updates your install will be the same as any current release.
