Firstly, I managed to boot into the installed system once, but stuff like KDE failed to emerge. After that, I had to switch the hard disk, so I chose to reinstall anyways. Also, when in the chrooted environment, after compiling and installing the kernel and nvidia-kernel, nano breaks up. When I say "nano -w /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6", the console gets garbled and I have to use Alt+SysRq+e to get back to the prompt!
Also, I have this problem with "netmount" trying to start (and failing) during boot up that I haven't found an answer to...
All in all, I'm completely frustrated and pissed off. Now, I'm looking for alternatives. Maybe I can install from the 2004.3 LiveCD.... but I'm using LVM2 and I don't think the 2004.3 LiveCD supports it. Someone (sorry I don't remember the name) suggested to me in #gentoo that it has LVM1... So can someone please tell me how I can accomplish an installation with LVM2?
Also, can I install 2005.0 using the Knoppix CD? I think Knoppix supports LVM2... right?
Guys, I seriously need ideas... I can't afford to waste too much time trying to install Gentoo... But I certainly don't want to move back to those rpm based distros...
