[gentoo-user] gentoo on a 486

[Mark Hawrylak]

Hi all 
I have taken the time to put gentoo on a 486   (no X)  with the goal of 
turning it into an mp3 player (using mp3blaster)

I used my athlon to build the system using a chrooted enviroment.
when it came to booting the 486  the init system would not start   ( 
note the kernel mount the HD fine, just no init scripts are executed and 
no prompt is given

are there any isses with gentoo and running it on a 486?
the gcc on 1.4_rc4   and 486 chips?   or the compiled code on a 486.
I know there are a few bugs with compiling gentoo on a 486 with gcc in 
1.4_rc4  (courtesy of the bugtracking system)   so I used the chrooted 
enviroment.

some assistance or pointers?
should I rebuild with   i386 ?   or      withing -fomit-frame-pointer    
or   remove  -03       

any hints or tips suggestions

thanx in advance

Mark
