I cant chroot though because then the files disappear from boot. though apparently eventough it said it couldnt move..the files are in temp...
i also have 2 kernel files it seems! one ends in em64 the other in k8
all the files are now in /mnt/gentoo/boot but it still doesnt work :< |

I am in trouble once again :<
After getting everything working all well in good i found out i didnt have my kernel setup to allow me to connect to the net. I went back to livecd made the changes rebuilt the kernel and copied the image over to /boot/
now whenever i try to boot gentoo i get an error saying /dev/hda3 is not a valid root device please enter a device or shell to boot and it prompts me
boot()::_ |

You don't need to use the livecd to rebuild your kernel. The purpose of the livecd is to get you to a point where you can build your own kernel. It's the chicken and egg thing.
Once your system is up and running the same as in the handbook
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig or genkernel ..... Anyway, that doesn't help you now.
Is that a kernel error or a grub error. I don't think I've seen one like that before - boot()::_ |

kernel error. if i remove the boot parameters for the things like root=/dev/ram0 etc etc and just do root=/dev/hda3 it throws a kernel panic about not synching. Ive tried several things like rebuilding again and recopying as well as re-installing grub |

| Did you build the kernel manually or with genkernel? |

You need to do "make && make modules_install" |
