    Gentoo 2004.1 LiveCD

    So, I am currently in the process of reinstalling my Gentoo system ('cause...well...I screwed things up ) and I threw in my spankin' new Gentoo 2004.1 LiveCD. Booted up off of it -- everything *seemed* fine...until I tried to connect to the network.

    Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It will not resolve the host. (It does, however, recognize my card.)

    I throw in the 2004.0 CD -- works! I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why the newer CD works and the older one doesn't. I know, in the end, it doesn't really matter as it is just a boot CD -- but it sorta is making me crazy to know why. Nobody seems to have an answer on the Gentoo forums that I could find, so I decided to bring the problem here.

    Anybody else have this issue with the 2004.1 CD?

    All I can say is I'm glad I decided to install Gentoo awhile back. If I tried today, I would have given up on this (otherwise) awesome distro.

    I used the 2004.1 PPC minimal cd with no problems at all. I'm afraid I don't have a copy of the 2004.1 x86 live-cd that I could test for you.

    Well, it may just be my card. When I get home, I'm going to submit my own bug to the Gentoo bugtracker (as this is obviously some kind of bug), but I just wanted to see what you guys could come up with.

    Did you try smp as a kernel flag? (Or any others for that matter) That seemed to work for me...

    press F12(at work right now and dont have a copy with me) or F something at the start screen. Your smart you can figure it out...

    You assume much, young grasshopper.

    Actually, though, I have not tried out that flag yet. Well, I did install using the 2004.0 CD, so it's too late now, but I'll remember for future installations. (AKA - My friends have seen Gentoo and want to try it on their machines now. Point one and two for OSS! )

    I also used the same universal live cd and couldn't connect. When I have some more time, I'll sit and do some problem-solving. I'm looking forward to using portage.
