I booted using the 1.2 installation cd and then downloaded a stage-N archive to complete the process. It seems to be the accepted solution.
I've heard rumors that the later 2.5 kernels might support PCMCIA on these notebooks but haven't had any success when I try.
I have a ze4115 but if I can be of any add'l use, feel free to contact me.
Good luck.

I have a HP Pavillion ze4125 laptop that I currently have RedHat 8.0
running on it and would like to give Gentoo a try. In order to get
redhat installed on it I had pass the nopcmcia and nousb options to the
kernel during the install to get it to boot because there is a known
problem with the pcmcia hardware on this laptop and linux.
I try passing theses same options when trying to install Gentoo 1.4 rc2
using the livecd and it doesn't get very far before completely
freezing. The last line I have during the kernel load is:
ACPI-0263: *** Info: GPE Block0 defined as GPE0 to CPE63.
I've tried pretty much all of the boot parameters listing by pressing
F2. I've tried nopcmcia, nousb, noapic, acpi=no, nonet, noscsi.
Some I'm just wondering if anyone else has managed to get gentoo to go
on an HP Pavillion Z series laptop and what they had to do in order to
make that happen. Thanks.
