F80 Install Questions...

I recently came into the possession of a 7025-F80 and would like to
install Gentoo.

I made the LiveCD and booted it from OF... but I get two penguin frame
buffer images and all the text is garbled trash.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

perhaps try booting with "gentoo-nofb" (at the boot> prompt).

I backed off to the 2004.1 LiveCD and the video is fine now.

Downloading stages CD at the moment and I'll proceed from there.
