all files are the same. A got an errror message as I submitted. (bad format) It appearently worked though. :-}
From what it looks like, are you using a SuSE kernel? Can you please [re]emerge gentoo-sources and compile that and boot from that instead?
I booted Suse and then chrooted. The gentoo kernel is: i686 2.4.20-gentoo-r6
Can you please attach your kernel .config? [Please post a follow-up message when done!]

I found a similar non-solved prob with nearly the same laptop: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18993
> "similar bug" Are you using the storage detection/initrd for your kernel? Can you try using a manually compiled kernel? Does this happen with the bootCD? [ Can you attach or just paste in your .config as well, it looks like the emerge info got attached, thanks. ]
I think that I have storage detection turned on (whatever this is) I am not sure. I compiled my kernel again and tried it. But nothing is different. It does not happen with the Boot CD.
I got the solution: turn usb legacy support off in Bios. It seems to be a very common problem with HP (Pavillions/Omnibooks?) Thanks
