no errors present else I would have been able to figured it myself. there is no grub or lilo issues because I boot using a boot floppy that does not require any modules ( I did this and tested this out and it worked before I installed gentoo so I know it works)
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
hmmmm...I can't really say what the problem might be. Is it possible that this is a grub configuration problem? Perhaps you pointed grub to the kernel properly, but not to the filesystem root correctly? Sorry, but you don't have many hints there.
I built a system for a 486 using gcc 2.95 about a year ago and had no problem at all. Things worked just fine. I even had X running on it for
a while. Neat. Working from memory, I would say that the flags were:
-march=i486 -O2
Pretty simple. I don't think that this is your problem, though. I can't imagine that optimizations would lead to a failed init. Do you see any sort of an error there that you can pass on?

ask all the questions u want.... I am happy to answer and try to figure this 1 out....
though I think I may recompile with
-march=i486 -02
and see how I go. cheers
