this was the first time i got close to successfully installing gentoo linux. 
but i came short. i got a kernel panic after i rebooted.
i am running grub and this is what the /boot/grub/grub.conf looks like

default 0
timeout 15
splashimage=(hd1,0)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=Gentoo Linux
root (hd1,0) 
kernel (hd1,0)/boot/bzImage root=/dev/hdb3 
title=Windows XP
root (hd0,0) 
chainloader (hd0,0)+1

and the winXp works fine but gentoo gives me the panic.
My machine is setup with one drive(100gig) for win and one drive(80gig) for 
linux. i formated the win with fat32 and the linux i partitioned 
100MB for /boot     /dev/hdb0
250MB for /swap     /dev/hdb1
rest for /          /dev/hdb2

so the above i believe is correct in order for the machine to boot gentoo but 
it fails. and if something would require me to recompile the kernel i have no 
idea how to get into the shell to do so. so i could use a little help from here.

Thanks
