I've gotten thru most of the install. Creating a gentoo guest in vbox on solaris HOST.
Got what seems a working kernel config and am able to start the new os from vbox. However, I have no access from keyboard I went back and looked thru the likely kernel suspects with `make menuconfig' but saw nothing I recognized as being a culprit Perhaps its not kernal related... but I have 2 other linux guests (debian) on this same host and can access them just fine. In case any one knows the likely problem and where to look in config, I have posted the .config file at the URL below: (Installed kernel is 3.18) zeus.jtan.com/~reader/vu1/disp.cgi
