You don't say if this is your first Gentoo installation, so please |
| 7 |
excuse me if my suggestion is patronising, but a kernel panic on |
| 8 |
bootup tends to suggest to me that some essential driver is not |
| 9 |
compiled into the kernel. |

Often, for instance, file systems are indicated - if ext3 is compiled |
| 12 |
as a module then kernel cannot load that module from an ext3 file |
| 13 |
system. I do not think filesystems are indicated in your particular |
| 14 |
case, but I hope the example makes sense. |

What I do when compiling my Gentoo kernels is to work from a known- |
| 17 |
good kernel configuration, usually basing mine on the one used by the |
| 18 |
latest knoppix. Seeing as the 2008 install CD booted on your machine |
| 19 |
it would be worth seeing if that kernel .config is readily available |
| 20 |
- try booting with it and running`zcat /proc/config.gz`. If this |
| 21 |
displays a bunch of stuff then you can mount your hard-drives as you |
| 22 |
did before `zcat /proc/config.gz > /mnt/gentoo/kernel.config` and |
| 23 |
chroot in as you did during the install procedure. Backup the |
| 24 |
existing /usr/src/linux/.config copy /mnt/gentoo/kernel.config over |
| 25 |
the top of it & repeat the steps covering compiling & installing a |
| 26 |
kernel. |
