[gentoo-user] AMD64 - which stage3 file for new install?

[gentoo-user] AMD64 - which stage3 file for new install?

[Mark Knecht]

Unless I missed it this page doesn't seem to indicate which one to use
for an AMD64 processor.

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=5

So, is it:

stage3-i686-2005.0.tar.bz
stage3-x86-2005.0.tar.bz

or is there an actual AMD64 stage file somewhere on the net I should be using?

Thanks,
Mark

John,
   As per a thread over the last couple of days I was planningon using
the 2005.0 CD that I've used for a number of other machines, but that
CD doesn't have any 64-bit stuff on it. If there's a 64-bit install CD
then I'll go look for that.

   Thanks for the info!

With best regards,
Mark

Yeah, there's a 2005.1 amd_64 universal install.  I know, because I  
just used it to set up 4 servers :)

Thanks. I'm buring a copy of the minimal install for AMD64 now.

Cheers,
Mark

Re: [gentoo-user] AMD64 - which stage3 file for new install?

[John Jolet]

well, not sure what stage files, if any that one has on it.  I used  
the universal installer.

Re: [gentoo-user] AMD64 - which stage3 file for new install?

[Mark Knecht]

Yeah, I decided to go for the Universal install since it has stage
files. Seemed that the Minimal didn't. I'd forgotten that.

The AMD64 will be nicer to install from. I'm getting 65MB/S DMA on the
hard drive whereas the x86 Universal didn't have the right chipset
stuff and I was only getting 2.5MB/S.

Two problems I've seen with the AMD64 Universal CD so far:

1) Console #2 doesn't go to a console. It stays with the boot up
graphics. I have to use Alt-Ctl-F3 to get to a second terminal.

2) The path in the login message telling you how to start links to get
the install docs is incorrect.

Both pretty minor.

Install underway if I can get comfortable with LVM2....

Thanks,
Mark
