|
|
L.S,
I have a problem trying to install X86-64 minimal CD on asrock extreme3 system with pheom 955x4 and 20Gb. I tried differnt images and i get everytime the same error during boot.
Unpacking firmware
bzip2 compressed file ends unexpectedly perhaps it is corrupted.
bzip2 inappropriate ioctl for device input= (stdin) outfile= (stdout)
boot continues without problem.
Question is, is this error fatal in the rest of the install process and can i fix it using a boot line parameter.
thanx in advance
CJJF |

CJJF,
Use SystemRescueCD for your install media. The installer only provides a few tools to accomplish the install.
None of its code goes into the install.
As long as you use a 64 bit kernel, you can use any liveCD or other Linux install you happen to have. _________________ Regards,

CJJF,
Provided your Fedora 12 is 64 bit and you want to install Gentoo beside it, not in place of, boot Fedora, get a root shell then execute
You can now follow the Gentoo Handbook. _________________ Regards,

Hi Neddyseagoon,
It is a 64 bit. I want to replace it's oold and the update path to the latest version is kind of uncharted territory. The only thing i want to keep are the RAID 5 home partition and a small partition for my (t)rusty old XP installation for some applications that are unfortunately not available in linux. (T5Suite). |

If you have space you can install Gentoo beside Fedora then when it works, remove Fedora and donate the space to Gentoo.
If not, boot with SystemRescueCD. _________________ Regards,

Hello!
Same problem here today on I5 3450 with AsRock 1155 H77M. Is this problem with some firmware file on ISO image?
Using install-amd64-minimal-20130110.iso.

sale,
Please try installing using System Rescue Cd as you boot media.
Be sure to select a 64 bit kernel. _________________ Regards,

Could do that, but that doesnt solve the problem I suppose.
Is there a place where I could report this, so somebody could investigate it?

sale,
It will probably solve your immediate problem but will not provide a long term fix for other users.
Report a bug at bugs.gentoo.org
Check the open bugs first, in case its already been reported. Only add new information to existing bug reports. _________________ Regards,
