This is the second time I finish install all the way through Grub, after I restart this time it passed through hde and hangs at the lines

Try loading off the livecd and change the line in your fstab that says /dev/ROOT to what it should be.. Ex. /dev/hda3

Are you getting the same error? If so then post the contents of /etc/fstab.

I installed Gentoo in hdb, nothing is connected to hda, and I have XP installed in sda, I try to boot linux from hdb and XP from sda, thus it becomes a little confusing.
Here's the fstab

It worked!
However, during the system load up, I saw some errors, it passed by so fast I couldnt recall, and I am not able to add a user, says command not found. Is there still something wrong with my system?
And how can I get to a kde or gnome desktop

Try the command " dmesg " and look in " less /var/log/kern.log " You should find your errors in them

Tried the "less /var/log/kern.log" it says command not found, same goes for "reboot".

Reboot with your install cd mount your partitions, proc, and then do the chroot thighy (chroot env-update source /etc/profile) and then try tose commands. If your system boots but has errors in the kernel boot then you will need to recompile it and the info you need is in those files.

I did "env-update source /etc/profile" but I still cannot use the commands, and I still get the filesystem error, all I need to do is recompile genkernel?
