I installed gentoo 1.4_rc1 (stage 2 i586mmx) with the documentation an got no errors.

after installation, i'm not able to boot my system. i see grub and when i hit enter, i see some text for one second and then the machine reboots automatically.

the partitions are:

hda1 - ext2 - /boot
hda2 - swap
hda3 - reiserfs - /

Doesn't it explain what is happening? You have compiled your kernel with the wrong processor type, probably Pentium III which is the default.
