looks like the kernel can't find your root partition. (VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknowen block(0,0)). Please make sure that you configured your grub correctly (which version do you use?). On grub legacy (0.9) edit the file /boot/grub/menu.lst and add the "root=<your root partiton>" parameter it should look like this title Gentoo root (hd0,1) kernel /boot/kernel* root=/dev/sda2 When you need further help, please post your partitioning and grub menu entry, grub device names can be verry confusing for beginners. The more complex idea in my mind is that your kernel is missing some device drivers for the ide/sata controler. This should not happen, because you used genkernel. Randolph
