It's difficult to say what happened exactly but each live cd release 
version is different and every installation experience is different.  If 
you are having problems file bugs and you will get official feedback on 
your problems.  Alternatively, due to the nature of the distribution you 
may use any cd version to install it as all of them give the same end 
product.  It may however be a fact that Gentoo requires a few more 
version releases before it begins to provide a streamlined and matured 
product that can be representative of its merits.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo 1.4 Basic-Installation CD really buggy (20030806)

[Thorsten Kampe]

The Gentoo Basic Installation CD is quite buggy. Just a few errors
noticed while starting:

1. "/proc/splash: No such file or directory"
2. The bash history buffer is full of commands issued by the developer

Okay, 1. and 2. where rather cosmetic, the stopping issues are really
annoying: Rebooting or halting "doesn't work" (tested on a Acer
Laptop, IBM NetVista and a VMware host).

It hangs at various stages: "stopping USB and PCI hotplugging" or
while shutting down the "lo" interface. A test installation under
VMware went successfully until the final reboot:

"/sbin/rc: line 151: /bin/sync: No such file or directory"
"/sbin/rc: line 151: /bin/sync: No such file or directory"
"/sbin/rc: line 1: /prc/cmdline: No such file or directory"
"/sbin/rc: line 153: /sbin/sulogin: No such file or directory"
"/sbin/rc: line 151: /sbin/reboot: No such file or directory"

So it's not possible to reboot a freshly installed Gentoo box
successfully at all!

Sorry, what happened? RC4 was perfect...
