[gentoo-user] kernel choices for booting gentoo as guest in vbox vm

Installing gentoo as guest into vbox vm on solaris-11 (openindiana) HOST gentoo-17 VBox 5.2.6 Kernel 4.15.0 My first boot resulted in resulted in a kernel panic... not able to mount root. I checked my /etc/fstab trying to make sure I didn't make a stupid mistake there... it appear to be sound.

Hello again, I feel really stupid. So I had set imap_user/pass, but not smtp_url so I was receiving emails fine, but then instead of sending them, it was just encrypting them and saving them via `set record = "+[Gmail]/Sent Mail"`. ** face palm ** Thanks for your help!

[gentoo-user] Grub2 boot problem

Hello. I've got a fresh Gentoo installation that does not boot. I just end up in the Grub2 shell. However when there if I do 'set root=(md/0)' and 'configfile /grub/grub.cfg' I do get to the Grub2 menu where Gentoo boots just fine. /boot and / are both on mdadm devices. I've tried re-running

Oh excellent! I will drop those in my dotfiles. I am going to try and write some of this down in the Gentoo Wiki since there isn't really that much on the existing page. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Mutt There isn't even a page for NeoMutt.
