Hi,
After going over the installation instructions and performing the
standard operations (genkernel etc.), the Kernel halts during the
boot.

Im attaching the screenshot of what happens…
Im not the Linux expert, so dont know how to fix.

Hi,
looks like the kernel cant find your root partition. (VFS: Cannot
open
root device "sda3" or unknowen block(0,0)).
Please make sure that you configured your grub correctly (which
version do you use?).
On grub legacy (0.9) edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the
"root=<your root partiton>" parameter
it should look like this
title Gentoo
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/kernel* root=/dev/sda2
When you need further help, please post your partitioning and grub
menu entry, grub device names can be verry confusing for beginners.
The more complex idea in my mind is that your kernel is missing some
device drivers for the ide/sata controler.
This should not happen, because you used genkernel.

Make sure the filesystem support is correct. What fs do you use - did
you enable it in the kernel config ?
