There seems to be something in the creation of the initrd that gives errors. Comment out the initrd line in your grub config and try booting. Works for me (on three different systems I've built).

Hello, I have been trying to install gentoo 1.4 on my laptop 'IBM thinkpad' but cannot boot from the harddisk. I have followed the instructions in the handbook to the letter, the only odd occurance that happened was when using genkernel to compile, I recieved this message:
"copying system.map to /boot/system.map-2.4.20-gentoo-r5 mv: cannot stat 'boot/system.map': no such file"
below I have placed the commands I used to setup grub and below this is the fstab and grub files, please help I'm stuck?
grub>root (hd0,0) grub>setup (hd0)
My fstab file /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2 /dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
