 |
|
I am getting this error durring Post from LiveCD. And after it gets to the error
| Quote: | | HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted |
it hangs and sits there forever.
I have been looking around this site for a little over an hour and a half now. And all I can find that is even close to this is people having problems with DMA after LiveCD.
I dont even get a prompt.
If you can help me out please do so. And just to let you know I am new to linux.. I am using gentoo x86 2005 |

Draganfodder,
When the liveCD boot screen comes up, press F2 or F3 for more options. Read the help there.
There are a number of no-options. Use those with a little bit of trial and error.
Ome may even be called nodma

Might also be handy to read about those options in the README.txt file on the disc.
But since you get no prompt I suggest you try it on another machine that does work ^^.
Good luck.

I forgot to add this to my origional post.
But it also says...
| Quote: | | failed to open /dev/fb0 or /dev/fb0 for reading |
but on a different note... The only other kernels on the cd are gentoo-nofb memtest86...
I also printed out the readme.. but where is it that I enter the commands so I can alter the kernel.
When the cd first posts it comes up with the boot: prompt.. and it will only allow me to pick a kernel. |

Draganfodder,
When it says boot:
Type a kernel name followed by a space seperated list of options. These options are passed to the kernel you selected.
