Try this. Attached is a .config for 2.6.39 that works and boots just |
| 26 |
fine in a default VBox vm using AHCI SATA controller as provided by |
| 27 |
vbox. |

Once you have a bootable kernel that works on the guest hardware, the |
| 48 |
rest of the installation is bog-standard gentoo. If there's any |
| 49 |
difference, it's obvious what you should do about it (i.e. I had no |
| 50 |
trouble whatsoever getting my VMs using this going) |
