Mount the drive first (make sure disc is in there) then run the installer. I think thats the way I was doing it in mandrake. Havn't installed it yet in gentoo.

having the same trouble myself

read somewhere to day if theres more than 1 /dev/cdrom/cdrom0, ie, if you have another cdrom or dvd drive or something, it wont work, which means either delete the other device node, or unplug the ide cable from the second cdrom (if what i read was true) and then try the installer

havent done it yet myself, cause im too lazy, but who knows...

well i tried both of your suggestions but it still stops at the same point...the installer begins to run then at ut.ini it asks that cd one be mounted and unmounts the cdrom itself....i dont get it

edit: ok i think i have found what i have done wrong...i am recompiling the kernel to enable joliet extensions....so after that i let you know if it works...but check your kernel config if you having the same problem

well that fixed it ...runs great...duuupe user error again

Hey cool glad to hear it. Will check kernel config and make sure. Thanks for posting how you fixed it.
