This article has saved me befor using genkernel…
Thank you very much, it works as well with gentoo 2008.0 (I used the Minimal CD for installing, there you have no chroot problems)

I found a great howto that covers all this including the new kernels and all. I am on day 3 of the compiling, though, and am going to never do one of these little systems again with distcc and compiling on multiple machines. What an ordeal!!!

Just another thank you for providing the hint that gor my Via system running Gentoo! Booting the standard x86 live-cd worked for me too; I had to install through a stage 1 tarball though, as that was the only non-i686 tarball present. For those in a similar need, this url may be of use:

Thanks for the blog! It helped me to fix my gentoo 2005.1 installation trouble. But a addiotional hint: You do not need to use another live-cd, the gentoo cd’s are compiled for x86 IMHO. Booting from the standard live-cd and using a x86-stage archive worked fine for me.

This article was very useful to me in identifying why Gentoo 2005.1 was kernel panicking on my VIA C3 system. Thanks.
