gentoo install on 500mhz celeron
two questions:
1) the celeron uses the x86 architecture, right?
2) when i try unzipping portage from the universal cd (i dont have network access) i get an unrecoverable error about input/output. depending on the flags i use when i load the install kernel, it happens at various points during the unzip. i've found that in order to get to a working kernel, i have to use the ide=nodma flag, and i've tried messing with some of the other flags with no better results. does anyone have any thoughts on this? thanks a bunch.
