I think that /dev/hda3 should have an '*' under Boot... but I don't think this is your problem.
don't think so, it actually starts booting and it reads the kernel file.
This sounds the most logical thing to do. Will give it a try - couldn't harm (hopefully).

I'm not sure what to do, but I think this is the place. In case nobody else responds, here's some things to try. However, I'm just guessing.
#1)
try to change 'init=/linuxrc' to 'init=/boot/linuxrc'. Also, it would seem that 'linuxrc' should appear in the boot directory. But I really don't understand it.
#2)
Perhaps remove the 'vga=773'
already tried...
not yet. I will do that as the last thing before going to sleep (midnight has passed 90 mins ago). This machine takes 2hrs to build it.
#3)
Did you happen to actually build your own kernel?
I have also added "dmesg" if it helps anyway.
Yes, it did. :-)
HTH!
Is there a possibility that changing CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu"
in "/etc/make.conf" could cause this problem? Isn't all P2 and above machines i686?
