[gentoo-user] kernel .config that works for gentoo as guest vm
Installing fresh gentoo in guest vm on win7 Before I even try to configure a kernel, because I've been down this road a few times, and so far have always had trouble getting a kernel config that boots first time on gentoo vm. The vm is a gentoo guest installed with Vbox on windows 7. Its been a while since I've done this but I recall having trouble getting the right drivers so that disks are properly discovered during boot. I think this kind of config is pretty generic but still manage to get it wrong repeatedly. Can anyone post a kernel .config that is known to boot a gentoo Vbox vm installed on windows 7. Or is there a generic config that will do that? I've tried genkernel in the past too, and still no boot on a vm. I guess it would be kernel-3.1.4.

Did it fail halfway during boot, or was it completely unable to load the kernel? Rgds,

grab my 3.0.2 virtualbox config [1] and do make oldconfig on it [1]: http://codepad.org/QreqHSMs
