I just got done installing Gentoo on my main box after looking at a different distro (which couldn't pick up my SATA drive). So I installed everything last night, but have run into two problems with the new install.
The first problem (or issue) is when I boot the system, I do not see the series of "[ ok ]" checks as things load. Here are the last few lines when the system loads:


EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.
VFS: Mounted root (ext3 filesystem) readonly.
Freeing unused kernel memory: 212k freed
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Adding 1028152k swap on /dev/sda3.  Priority:-1 extents:1

Then I get the login prompt. My assumption is that it is the warning, but I am not sure why I'm getting it in the first place. Does anyone have any ideas why I can't see the modules loading?
The second problem is when I run 'emerge --update world' and the system attempts to update to 'gcc-3.3.5-r1'. I get the follow error at the end:


...

make: *** No rile to make target 'profiledbootstrap'. Stop.


        Any help in fixing things up would be greatly appreciated!
