I would think that when it is offcially released, it will be
announced on the front page of the Gentoo site, also,
notwithstanding the later, the gentoo 2004.0 live cd's/stages are nowhere to be found on any of the distro mirrors.
so it is a reasonable assumption that it has yet to be released.
i may be wrong of course.

The maintainers put up a notice on the front page that there a technical difficulties with the mirror system. Strange, no LiveCDs and only hardened stages on mirrors.
Will the release stages be the same as the current ones on the experimental oregonstate server ?

Ok, no matter about these last minute difficulties we are experiencing - we finally made it. 
I want to thank all people that donated their time to test the stages and LiveCDs. Without you, we wouldn't have been able to kill nearly all the bugs that arised during the beta-testing process. Of course, not all bugs could be eleminated but we will try to fix them as soon as possible 
The work goes on. As soon as the release has spread over all mirrors, new bug-reports will be filed. The task is now to calm down for a few days and then step over into 2004.1's release process - we always try to get better, so expect the Best from the next regards.
A big "Thanks for donating your time, folks" ! 
Regards

We had some problems with the Master-mirror which prevented us from really having a release yesterday.  These Problems are solved now. Last time I checked (30 Minutes ago) everything except the stages and the p4-GRP-set was on the mirrors.

And thank you for allowing us to test it early and being able to support you in one way or another.

I've never been able to start a fresh gentoo installation on a scsi-only system.
I've tried 2 tekram scsi controllers, DC-390F and DC-390U3W.
Tricked it once, a year ago by adding and booting from a 1.2 (EDIT) LiveCD in a IDE-CDROM, then manually insmod'ing the proper modules. It would be great to install gentoo onto a scsi-only system without the hassle of adding an extra IDE-CDROM.
The 2004.0LiveCD does boot (bios INT13), but it seems unable to detect my scsi controller and/or mount my SCSI-CDROM.
It drops me to an ash shell, where I'm completly lost.
Have also tried the experimental LiveCD w/ a 2.6 kernel with "gentoo doscsi" bootoption without success so far.
Hardware:
Tekram DC-390U3W scsi controller (overkill, I know)
Plextor Plexwriter PX-W1210S
9 GB Seagate scsi disk
440 BX Based MS-6163 MB (bios from 2000) + Celeron 433 + 64 MB RAM
last boot messages are:
| Code: |
STEP 3: Mounting necessary filesystems per boot options
Started device management daemon v1.3.25 for /newroot/dev
---- Attempting to mount CD -- /newroot/dev/cdroms/*
---- Attempting to mount CD -- /newroot/dec/ide/cd*
Dropping to shell so you can fix your shit
BusyBox v1.00-pre3 (2004.02.04-19:01+0000 ) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.
/bin/ash: can't access tty: job control turned off
/ # |
| Code: | / #lsmod
usb-storage
hid
uhci
usbcore |
IIRC LiveCD's > 1.4 have kernels with built-in scsi* modules, but autodetection seems to fail.
Can somebody please tell me how to continue installation on a SCSI-only system ?

Yes, it says shit
IIRC sym53c8xx_2 is the correct module. It's not located in tmpfs (RAM)
/lib/modules/kernel/2.4.24-xfs-r0/scsi/ so I can't manually modprobe it. I guess its built into the 2.4.24 kernel.
It could be located on the livecd zisofs filesystem, but then again I'm not able to mount it using a SCSI-CDROM ...

one thing, don't forget to mount /dev before you chroot in..
other than that it should all be following the normal guides..
have fun!

I have a problem, I have a server wich run as gateway for home network wich is 5 PC`s. Gentoo 2004.0 not include iptables . I can`t install gentoo in the same time with sharing PPPOE conection. How can be posible to customise universal LiveCD to include iptables ?

so what is serving your PPPOE internet connection at the moment?
You can do an install without needing the internet using GRP packages..

Knoppix didn't detect it either. The module was not listed in expert mode. However it suggested loading a module from floppy, but my system has no FDD |

I really can't fix this shit. SCSI controller support seems to be modular
| Code: | / #/sbin/cat /proc/config | grep CONFIG_SCSI_SYM*
CONFIG_SCSI_SYM53c8xx_2=m
. |
But this module is not available in tmpfs. Is there another module I'm not aware of ?
Generic scsi cdrom & hd support seems to be built-in
| Code: | / #/sbin/cat /proc/config | grep DEV_SD*
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD=y |
| Code: | / #/sbin/cat /proc/config | grep DEV_SG*
CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG=y |

adding a ide-cdrom to my scsi system did it. My shit is fixed, and life is good.
Borrowed an ide-cdrom (ASUS DVD-E616), connected it as master on IDE0. Changed BIOS bootorder to CDROM,C,A and booted the 2004.0LiveCD from IDE-cdrom without options.
Livecd was automatically mounted as expected. After about 80 annoying seconds of DHCP broadcasting timeout (not connected yet), I got a decent livecd prompt.

In my case with the Dell server, Gentoo is currently installed, but I have to use Knoppix CD which worked without problems. I would like to help fix the problem I got (mentioned 3 or 4 posts above) but my linux experience is not that good. So any help or guide would be appreciated.

Gateway and firewall runs on Debian but I try to change it to Gentoo and do not wont to stop network acces on other PC`s. If iptables is included is much easy to make job in the same time with workink net in back.

aaah k.. I didnt realise you were putting gentoo on teh router!
thought you had a router, and another pc to put gentoo on, hence I was confused
u might have to build a custom cd - what about knoppix? does it come with iptables?
