Try acpid. It should have a default entry doing a shutdown when you

Yes, and after confusing yourself a couple of times because you forgot to
do so, you'll probably switch to GRUB.

Yes, you must rerun lilo from a working installation. lilo does not understand
filesystems, so rerunning lilo
Thanks for all your support.
Yesterday evening I reconfigured the kernel again, and I added SCSI I think,
but I also removed some generic IDE drivers and just kept the VIA driver for
ide. Recompiled, and rebooted. And voila, it booted :) I will compare the
two .config's to see what I actually did

I'm pretty shure that I have selected all device drivers as specified in:
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/VIA_Epia_M_II
but I will tripple check this tonight.

I just rembered that lilo verifies that the root-device that I use in
lilo-conf actually exists ?
So when I boot from my minimal-cd the disk is /dev/hda so if I write
/dev/sda in lilo.conf I will get an error when running lilo ?

Yes, although you'll find that most people prefer GRUB to Lilo nowadays.

I selected all devices from the guideline in the EPIA Howto:
http://www.gentoo-wiki.info/VIA_Epia_M_II
I downloaded the minimal CD:
http://bouncer.gentoo.org/fetch/gentoo-2008.0-minimal/x86/
For the kernel source I followed the online Handbook (with links)
I will try with sda notation in my lilo

Hello !
I am realy a beginner at Linux, and i am trying to get Gentoo work with my
Epia Via C3 Nemiah.
I have followed the Handbook (I hope), and have looked at some Epia HOWTO's
on how to configure the kernel. (manual config)
I configured the needed devices as built in, and nothing as a module.
