[gentoo-dev] Install not working

[gentoo-dev] Install not working

[Bill Anderson]

OK, I finally got room to install gentoo.

I did make one thing different than in the install guide; I used a 
single partition.

Problem: it won't boot fully.
It reaches the end of the scripts in runlevel 3 and just stops. 
Sometimes I get a message to hit enter to continue, but alas, nothing 
occurs. I can boot to single user mode, but nothing else. If I try to 
then switch to runlevel 3 it fails as noted above.

Any clues here?

Do all the services start with [OK] ?

Your system freezes? Hit enter and continue does not work?

Can you send me a ls -l of /etc/rc.d/rc3.d and /etc/rc.d/init.d

Yup. At least, nobody complains with an oops or anything.
