I took your advice and tried with the minimall install CD, here is the
outcome. Everything ok until i reach the compilation of the kernel (using
genkernel), then i get this error:
First i thought it was some issue regarding genkernel and ReiserFS so i
switch to ext3 and got the exact same result.
I am really about to lose it here. could be some issue with SATA? i am
installing on a SATA disk
