Hi,
I finished 1st part of gentoo installation up to "rebooting
the system" (10.d in handbook), so I rebooted, but I get some
kernel panic error. I can not scroll screen back, so I can
put here only messages I can see:

Stuck ??

At this point computer stops responding, and all I can
do is to push reset button (it is amd64/x2, 4GB ram,
sata disk/dvd, and I use openvz-sources).
What is going wrong? I do not have any idea and frankly
this is the first time I see "kernel panic" message...

I'm not sure if this will help or not but this was what I found with google:
Thomas,
I have booted many times over the weekend. I've yet to trigger the
watchdog. Since I used to see problems
in 1 in 3 or 4 boots, I think you fixed the problem with patch below.
Thanks
Ed

Questions first. Is there a particular reason to use idle=poll ?
Idea: does the patch below help ?
Thanks,
tglx
It appears to be something to do with apci and the idle=poll. Whatever
that is. I just googled so please don't shoot the messenger. LOL
Hope that helps.
