By 'patched' I assume you mean using the patch found here:
ftp://ftp.denx.de/pub/tmp/ELDK-update-2.2.0.tar.bz2
If that is the case, you have not patched it correctly or forgot to patch it before creating your iso/cdrom. I have installed the 'patched' version on several Gentoo boxes and it works fine.
The problem you describe was the behavior prior to patching.

Hello,
I'm trying to install the ELDK 2.2.0 (i.e. a patched 2.1.0) on a Gentoo 1.4 system. To do so I prepared a CD as described on www.denx.de. I already used the CD on two SuSE 8.2 systems with no problems. On the Gentoo system the installation starts just fine but suddenly stops without an error message.
-- # ./install -d /opt/eldk-2.2.0 ppc_82xx
Do you really want to install into /opt/eldk-2.2.0 directory[y/n]?: y

I attached a strace of what the installer is doing. Maybe somebody has an idea what is going wrong and how to work around.
