Looks like I've come with a different situation now: I installed Ubuntu in a different partition, it works fine. I took it's kernel's config and tried to recompile gentoo's with it.
Things are a little better now, but looks like it cannot find /dev/hda2 (my root partition) nor /dev/sda2. Since no root can be found, it cannot boot, and remains asking for the root password. If I log in, I cannot access my files in any way. I don't know why. On the other hand, I also tried to boot Gentoo using Ubuntu's kernel by setting root=/dev/sda2 (Gentoo's root partition) instead of root=/dev/sda3 (Ubuntu's). It goes perfectly (it even mounts the root partition), but stops after trying to remount proc (it cannot be mounted because it has already been mounted) since it's considered a critical task. Any ideas? Shall I send the new kernel config as well? btw, is there any web site with a huge database with config files or parts of them for different hardware, distributions (if applicable), and kernels? (I already did my homework trying to find it) If not, I think that would be a great idea.
