 Posted: Mon Mar 28, 2005 4:09 am Post subject: [SOLVED] Hey devs! Gentoo 2005.0 won't boot |
 |
|
Just tried out the new AMD64 universal ISO image and I'm sorry to report that this CD (like the first 2004.3) does not boot on the ABIT AV8 motherboard. You guys released a fixed 2004.3 that worked fine, however... but looks like the first 2005.0 exhibits the same problem.
Yes, I checked it against the MD5 sum and the CD reads fine in Windows.
mod edit: removed "on ABIT AV8" at the end of the subject to reflect that it's a general problem. --Earthwings

| Don't complain here, look for a open bug about this on https://bugs.gentoo.org or file a new one if there isn't. |

YES I KNOW
we do have the iso so I am thinking I can mount it as loopback and see if I can fix it that way. Even if it means that I need to copy out the content and create a new iso.

hey guys! i made it bootable
i'll write out the procedure, it's completely unofficial, do it at your own risk!
1. first extract content of .iso file to your home directory, for example /home/shark/gentoo-2005.0/
2. open shell and go to this directory
3. execute the following command (use path you've used for last parameter!):
| Code: | | mkisofs -o gentoo-2005.0.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -l -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table /home/shark/gentoo-2005.0/ |
4. if everything goes well you'll have iso file made (gentoo-2005.0.iso in /home/shark/gentoo-2005.0/ in my case) and bootable
i didn't start the installation yet, but cd was bootable and it was nice to see splashscreen with 2005.0 written 
let me know how it goes
EDIT
added -l parameter to command so it works properly now

Ok thanks for the tip but .. i don't have gentoo installed i was waiting for 2005 and the end of lib32 for installing it so .. i'm stuck in windows .. do you have a methode for do it in windows ? or can i do it with cygwin ? Thanks in advance and great to see that someone have booted this 2005.0 successfully
but installation didn't work for the moment ?? ... well so don't bother with my request i will wait a little for a definitve solution :p
It's amazing to see that the livecd have not been tested ..... O_o
EDIT=You didn't start the installation .. ok i was thinking the installation didn't start^^ ok i install cygwin and i hope this will work .. or maybee.. can you upload your unofficial iso somewhere please if you can ?
EDIT 2= This is the key for windows users :p http://smithii.com/?q=node/view/9
