but you don't have many hints there.
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)
As Rex said, are you sure that grub is pointing to the right root filesystem, and that /etc/fstab on the system, is correct.
Feel free to post those files here and we'll gander :)

the kernel required no modules
dd if=486img of=/dev/fd0
so there is no lilo or grub to deal with.
and fstab is correct! it should say init version XXX and stuff and start the init scripts. but they dont run. I got the system running when I booted using my athlon and set the root=/dev/hdd2 which on the athlon is the gentoo partition.
when I used the boot disk rdev /dev/fd0 /dev/hda2
here is some more into. I did extract on the stage1_1.4_rc4 and used that boot disk to boot into the system and it started fine... so the problem is something with the compiled files on the root fs.
ill try to recompile with -02 this time round and see how it goes.
thanx guys
