There is a config error on your Grub boot loader config, and there is a thread in your forums which highlights this. http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=80805&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=kernel+panic+attempted+kill+init it says you updated the online docs, but this link below has not been changed: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap23 once I removed the following: # If you're using a recent genkernel, use something like this: title=My Example Gentoo Linux (recent genkernel) root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-KV root=/dev/ram0 real_root=/dev/hda3 init=/linuxrc initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-KV to this: # If you're using a recent genkernel, use something like this: title=My Example Gentoo Linux (recent genkernel) root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/kernel-KV root=/dev/hda3 init=/linuxrc initrd (hd0,0)/boot/initrd-KV it booted up with causing the kernel panic.
