I am using Gentoo PPC 2005.1 stage 3 install. I do not know what a
profile is (same as stage?) /dev/hda7 is an ext3 partition, not ext2. I
also found out that when I boot off the CD and mount my partition, it
says that the check timed out (or something along those lines) and I
should run e2check( or something. The computer is not here right now).
when I ran it before, it found some problems which I told it too
correct, and it mounted the partition fine. I am almost sure that I say
in fstab that it was ext3 (NOT ext2), since I copied it from the
install guide and that said EXT3, but I could have typed it wrong.
However, I don't think that is it. I will check tomorrow.
Would simply not using initrd and just straight booting help anything?

You shouldn't use devfs. It's obsolete. Which liveCD / stage are you
installing from? Which profile are you using?
warning, no fsck.ext3 found.
Error: mounting an ext2 partition failed on /dev/hda7 (a little
different
wording), Bad superblock, etc
type cntrl-D to cancel, or enter root passwd to fix:
and it is frozen (no keyboard recognised)
There is a copy of fsck.ext3 on /sbin/, so I think that it is not in
the
initrd. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Is /dev/hda7 an ext2 partition? Are you sure you have your partition
numbering right and that your fstab reflects your partition layout?
