Thanks. Sure it should work. If the driver is missing, that's a mistake on our end. Specifically what livecd are you trying? What is the machine to which you're attempting to install? If you snoop /proc/config.gz after booting the livecd, what does it say concerning your driver? Thanks, Aron -- gentoo-ia64@gentoo.org mailing list
