Sometimes the boot sequence will make assumptions about the hardware that create problems. When all else fails, I try to turn off support for framebuffer, dma, apic, etc. I also turn off hardware I know I don't have or won't need (pcmcia, usb, etc.). That being said, when you get the 'boot:' prompt, type in some variation of: boot: gentoo-nofb ide=nodma nousb noapic nofirewire This and other tips may be found at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=2#doc_chap4 -- G a b r i e l M .
