Alan is *not* saying that Gentoo is not for you; he is merely saying that running Gentoo requires a decent amount of knowledge. For example, I ran Ubuntu for 2-3 years, then ArchLinux for 1-2 years, and now I run Gentoo. If you have never manually formatted a disk, installed a kernel, and installed grub, you can expect to fail the first time around. Like Alan also said, since you are doing this in Qemu, you should not be using an initrd and, in my opinion, you should just have a single MBR partition as it is very simple. Alec
