you can boot with "gentoo noraid" to disable evms. This is the first ive heard of evms locking anything up. Id be curious as type of motherboard (ide controller),etc. you mentioned having to take one of the memory modules out, blank screen? if so your hitting the highmem framebuffer bug. boot with "nofb noraid" then.
MoBo is an Abit KT7A, IDE controler is VIA. Yes its a blank screen with all my ram in. With that bit of info I was able to get past that hang up but now it's hanging after "Autoconfiguring devices... Done." Just a flashing curser.
Sorry with all the info above it there is just a flashing curser.
