Trouble installing gentoo : command 0x25 timeout, stat 0x50

[lifofifo]

Hi Everyone,

I'm trying real hard to install gentoo on my amd64 box. Anytime in the installation, it hangs with the following error :

ata1: command 0x25 timeout, stat 0x50 host_stat 0x24

I'm clueless about kernel and stuff.

Please help.

Thanks,
Pratik

I disabled acpi support from my bios settings and everything worked well..

I'd wanna know what would be implications of disabling acpi support ? Do I need to pass special parametered to kernel or it's ok if I dont do it ?

Thanks,
Pratik
