    Problems installing Sabayon Linuxv4 R1

    Anyone have any experience installing Sabayon??

    I downloaded the v4 R1 ISO and put the image on a disk using imgburn. Set the DVD Drive to boot in BIOS and up comes the menu to install Sabayon. I hit enter and after a few minutes I get this error:

    >>Could not find the root block device in..
    >>Please specify another value or press Enter for the same, type "shell" for a shell or "q" to skip.

    Root block device () ::

    Ive checked the md5sum of the ISO and the downloaded file and they have the same hash so the integrity of the burnt DVD must be okay, also tried entering a few cheat codes such as: all-generic-ide, pci=nomsi, pci=noacpi but none of them seem to work.

    Any ideas?
