Don't forget that (hd0,1) is /dev/hda2, and that /dev/hda2 is /boot. So I think the line in your grub.conf should look more like
kernel (hd0,1)/bzImage root=/dev/hda4
Also, don't forget to mount /boot (/dev/hda2) before you try to copy a bzImage there, a friend of mine (not me, seriously ;-)

) fell for that one a couple of times.
Good luck,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

It is done!

Now I have two minor problems to fix. Firstly, I can't see the bootloader - choicer (Choice between Gentoo/WinXP) However, I know how to start both. I think I have to activate the framebuffer in my kernel.

The second problem is that I cant get superuser from normal-user. If I can get superuser, I haven't tried. I have to go now and I'll be back afternoon.

I had more work to do than I thought - I had to help my mother (I have holidays at the moment

) So its 18:42 here in Zurich now.

Well, I cant change with su but with exit and login. So this problem is solved.

But when I wanted to emerge or go to internet with lynx I couldnt. Well, I have thought that I haven't to configure my network because I get with a router into internet. Furthermore, when I installed debian directly from net, I hadn't to configure anything. Also in LiveCD or Knoppix it was no problem.

I've configured now under root in gentoo /etc/hostname , /etc/dnsdomainname and /etc/hosts.

I have to admit that I have no experience with configuration of networks. So I used the IPs of install guide chapter 20.

I have got an enthernet card pci 10/100.

what can I do now?

I don't see why you cannot "su" under Gentoo, provided that you have the right password. In any case, from the console (ie: not X11), press Alt-F2 to switch to the second terminal, press Alt-F1 to return to the first. This beats the cycle of logins and logouts.

The IP value of 192.168.1.1 in chapter 20 is for private networks and is fine for local networks (ie: home use). Also look at chapter 21:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-install.xml#doc_chap21 . The Gentoo installation guide is very well written.

One more thing that's slightly on-topic (considered to belong in "Installing Gentoo", at least): read the sticky thread (first one in the "Installing Gentoo" section) about the su thing.
And, going offtopic now (couldn't resist), the IP (192.168.1.1) in section 20 is an example of a static IP address. What you probably have, if you didn't have to configure anything before, is a dhcp network, your router probably assigns an IP address to your computer. Can't tell you much about dhcp, though, as I don't use it myself, but I think you should delete the 192.168.1.1 line and go from there.
Good luck, and happy holidays,

I now guess that I have to install some kind of module of my kernel. But there are some modules which seems to be related with DHCP. Which one should I activate?
