I didn't want any typos in this kernel output so took a small screen shot. I'm working on a new vm (vbox) install of gentoo but having trouble getting a kernel that boots.
Architecture=amd64 (not strict) I started out by copying a .config from a running gentoo vm and using it to do `make oldconfig' then fumbled my way thru the questions, followed by a `make menuconfig' to look things over. That kernel panicked and it seems to say it could not mount an ATA disk. Ok, went back to make oldconfig with that copied .config and and just yessed my way thru the questions. I mean accepting the default on them all. Again I get a kernel panic but this time its different. It seems to mount the disks ok but then fails to find a working `init' command. Checking that with sysrescueCD I see /sbin/init does exist on that new vm. and is executable. The disk setup is sda1=/boot sda2=swap sda3=/home sda4=/ root and kernel lines from grub.conf: root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda4 vga=0x31b video=vesfb:mtrr:3,ywrap (see fstab below:)
