[gentoo-user] Installation gentoo problem.

[Igor Spiridonov]

Hi. I tryed install "gentoo 10.0" and there was: "scanning for ata_piix" 
and istallation stopped. If i switch off the sata disk then installation 
runs good.
I try "gentoo 10.1" now and stopped on: "Scanning for ehci-hcd...usb 
core". I switch off usb on motherboard and installation continue. But 
then stopped on: "Scanning for scsi_wait_scan". I have not scisi disks. 
My matherboard is Asus P4P800SE. What to do?

If there's a module you don't need to load to install Gentoo, you can
use the "noload" option as described in the handbook
(http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=2)
under "Booting the Installation CD", as well as the options listing on
the boot screen of the install CD.  Just list the modules that are
causing problems.

No, not noscsi; noload.  From the handbook:

noload=X
    This causes the initial ramdisk to skip the loading of a specific
    module that may be causing a problem. Syntax matches that of doload.

The module names to put in for X are listed in the boot sequence:
ata_piix, ehci-hcd, scsi_wait_scan, etc.  Read the whole section
"Booting the Installation CD" in the handbook.

These are very small. 100meg. If you can boot with them, then maybe  
you can put the stage3 file on a USB memory stick or something. Use  
the one from the DVD you have already.

I was going to say "and the current .iso is 6 days newer than the 10.1  
DVD", but it looks like that's been taken down now. Since the 10.1 DVD  
is only a few days newer than the 10 DVD, I'm inclined to assume there  
have been problems with recent builds. Therefore I would suggest  
trying the 20090915.iso if you can possibly afford a 100meg download.  
That's in <http://mirrors.kernel.org/gentoo/releases/$XXX/autobuilds/20090910/ 
 > where XXX=x86 or XXX=amd64
20090915 seems to be the latest autobuild currently on the mirrors.

Try another live cd based on Gentoo, like System Rescue CD.  If it can
boot live kernel, then maybe you should try Gentoo 2007.0 or 2008.
I've installed plenty of systems with a Gentoo 2007.0 CD-R I have
kicking around.

Hi,

why not take the autobuild? It is only on day old!

[gentoo 10.0 CD install problems]

If you have trouble with the Gentoo CDs, you can use just any other livecd 
you like, like Knoppix or GRML. Boot the system, open a browser to view the 
installation handbook, and do the installation. When configuring the kernel, 
you can usually get the current running .config from /proc/config.gz, so you 
can be sure the new kernel will work.
