Reading portage's warnings helps:
ewarn "Also, note that you must compile in support for"
ewarn "input devices (Input device support->Input devices),"
ewarn "the virtual terminal (Character Devices->Virtual terminal),"
ewarn "vga_console (Graphics Support->Console...->VGA text console)"
ewarn "and the vt_console (Character Devices->Support for console...)."
ewarn "Otherwise, you will get the dreaded \"Uncompressing the Kernel\""
ewarn "error."
Yep, it actually didn't hang... it's still booting, you just can't
see anything ;-) They've enhanced linux for embedded systems so now
you can build without any console support at all. Also be sure to
include core keyboard support (you can actually compile without any
support for PS2 keyboards now as well).
Offtopic: does anyone have any feedback on ACPI? Functionality seems
to have broken for a lot of stuff compared to 2.4.
(/proc/acpi/battery is empty now).
