genkernal.log (additional attemtps did not seem to make any difference

trying to install the latest gentoo under oracle virtual box on AMD cpu.  The process has a couple errors.  One in generating documentation.  The serious one is it can't make/install bzImage.  I also tried make menuconfig and mostly just took all the defaults except to turn off filesystems I do not plan on using, pretty much everything except the ext2, ext3, ext4 ones.

I created a 20GB disk in the virtual machine with 17GB for /dev/sda1 and about 3.5GB for swap.  I did not make a separate /boot partition.  I was expecting the worst to be a boot failure when rebooting to the virtual hard disk.

The page I'm following is at:

I'm not sure that all the NAT involved would allow external ssh access.  Teamviewer of one of the vnc flavors might work to my win7 machine where the VM's are.

If I understand thick bug ticket right, you had several problems with the installation and kernel generation in a virtual machine.

I can not reproduce this or see a clear evidence of a bug in gentoo and we can not help you well with that problem in a bug tracker, so I will close this ticket.

You will receive the best help in forums, mailing lists and on IRC.

For a start you can try to install an IRC client like quassel and join #gentoo on freenode.

Best wishes, JS
