I had some similar problems recently (on dual athlon), where it was running oldish kernels (2.5.4 I think) OK, but 2.6.5 & later wouldn't boot. Memtest reported bad memory; booting the new kernels with a suitable mem= parameter confirmed this (they then booted fine, and continue to be fine with replacement memory). So I recommend checking the memory. dave -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
