Hi all,

I have decided to start installing for the 1st time Gentoo.

After searching and spending 2 hours, I call for help.

After booting from the CD, and selecting the keyboard, I get the error:

* seaching for PCI devices...
lspci: -f: invalid function number.

and then the PCI list is empty.

I do not know what to do from there.

My configuration is :

ECS P4S5A/DX motherboard (SiS645DX chipset)
LAN: MAC integrated in SiS® 961 & PHY on board.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :(

What is the filename of the CD that you downloaded?

The ISO file that I downloaded came from
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo/releases/1.2/

It is the gentoo-ix86-1.2.iso ISO file.

at the boot prompt type

kernel pci=bios

that will solve the problem

Hopefully for me I am further now in the installation process.
But this does not help. I try back with the Gentoo 1.2 CD.
I still get
Code:
lspci: -f: invalid function number.


This is still not the solution.
