Hi Valerio.

Have you tried booting the 2.4 kernel? boot <cd-device> -fl 1. As far as
I know the 2.4 kernel should work fine on your DS25. Alternatively you
can use the 1.4rcX livecd found in /experimental with the 2005.0 stages,
following the handbook as usual.

If that doesn't work for some reason, there's an alternative
installation guide on http://www.gentoo.org that shows how to do various
'alternative' types of installation.

Hope this helps.
