Late resend, but fills a doc gap.
Dale, please change your email "reply-to" setting (delete).

Thanks Dale, Nick & Rob,
* We have Gentoo boot. *
Msgs that DFVFS should be compiled in, with DMA on for hdd - later.
I have created a bigger problem that I'm sorting out first.
Doofus forgot to put AC power to laptop, so Suse went down without warning. It impressively instructed howto & fixed its own ext partition though - a few lost inodes. Now to fix Gentoo's reiserfs that was mounted at the time!
...
Cheers
Rik

from rik's menu.lst:
title Gentoo Linux 2004.1
root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,5)/boot/kernel-2.6.5-gentoo root=/dev/hda6 systemmap (hd0,5)/boot/System.map-2.6.5-gentoo
# initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd
chainloader +1
take out the chainloader command. what that does is transfer execution to another bootloader in (hdd0,5), but there won't be a boot loader there.
you are wanting to boot the kernel, not another bootloader.
