I have a HP Pavillion ze4125 laptop that I currently have RedHat 8.0 running on it and would like to give Gentoo a try. In order to get redhat installed on it I had pass the nopcmcia and nousb options to the kernel during the install to get it to boot because there is a known problem with the pcmcia hardware on this laptop and linux.
I try passing theses same options when trying to install Gentoo 1.4 rc2 using the livecd and it doesn't get very far before completely freezing. The last line I have during the kernel load is: ACPI-0263: *** Info: GPE Block0 defined as GPE0 to CPE63. I've tried pretty much all of the boot parameters listing by pressing F2. I've tried nopcmcia, nousb, noapic, acpi=no, nonet, noscsi. Some I'm just wondering if anyone else has managed to get gentoo to go on an HP Pavillion Z series laptop and what they had to do in order to make that happen. Thanks. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
