RE: initializing gentoo on ibook 12"

Flavio,

I believe in the kernel sources, if you go under the drivers section,
de-select the driver for the i8042 Serial Controller.  This used to cause me
to have all sorts of problems like you described on my 800mhz TiBook.

I can't recall where exactly in menuconfig it is, as I'm rebuilding right
now and don't have the kernel sources installed yet :(

If someone else could help out!

Hi!

I have just installed gentoo on my ibook 12". It has dual boot with
yaboot. Sometimes it works fine but sometimes, without any reason it
starts as follows and stop:

NET: Registered protocol family 16

Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 8 ports, IRQ sharing  disabled

At this point it stops and nothing happens.... if I try to restart the
machine it usually works, but ssometimes I need to restart it more than
once.

	Does anyone know what is the problem?

Best regards,
