I do not know what you mean by "guest interface". |

One right place for your support question would be the |

gentoo forum "Installing Gentoo": |

This can have many reasons. More informations are needed. |

According to this: |

you are probably using an initrd which you must have built and entered |
| 18 |
into grub (or grub2?) somewhere. Are you perhaps using genkernel to build |
| 19 |
such an initrd? I had used genkernel only once many years ago, |
| 20 |
and remember that you have to specify your root filesystem |
| 21 |
with the kernel parameter real_root=... |
| 22 |
If you do not use genkernel, you should pass the correct root partition |
| 23 |
with the kernel parameter root=... |
| 24 |
In the latter case, be sure that you have the filesystem support |
| 25 |
as well as the disk processor code compiled into the kernel |
| 26 |
(i.e. not as a module). |

Why do you think that it should be problem to ask a support question, |
| 32 |
especially in a friendly way? There is no reason to stay anonymous. |
