 New to Gentoo I have been running Mandrake linux for a few years. I decided to try Gentoo 1.4. I d/l'ed the two cd iso's and burned them to cd's. I boot, enter "smp" at the boot prompt and hit enter. The next screen to come up asks for a runlevel to enter. I have tried 1 thru 5. Each time, I get the message that nothing remains at this run level. Now what do I do?      |

Not helpful, I know - have you checked the md5 sum of the ISO image? > I have tried 1 thru 5. Each time, I > get the message that nothing remains at this run level. Seriously b0rked boot, then...

Check the md5 sum of the bootable cd, and download it again (with a good download utility) when it's incorrect... -- Jeroen Geilman All your bits are belong to us. |

Yes, I have a dual processor system. I checked the md5sum of the iso's after d/l'ing them. They were correct. However, I had burnt the cd's at a fast pace (40x). Now, I reburnt the first cd at a slower rate, and it is working fine. |

Does anybody understand (and would be willing to explain) why exactly, a cd burned at a higher rate will pass a crc check, but will fail in instance of actual usage? -- -~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~- Jordan T.
