Gentoo LiveUSB won't boot on acer laptop

[lindev]

Hello,

My Gentoo LiveUSB, which I just created works perfectly fine under QEMU, but won't boot on my acer laptop, I mean the real hardware. I did every step described on http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/liveusb.xml and my BIOS is able to boot from USB.

I get allways to this:

SYSLINUX 4.03 2010-10-22 EDD Copyright (C) 1994-2010 H. Peter Anvin et al
Gentoo Linux Installation LiveCD
boot: gentoo-nofb

Loading gentoo .....
Loading gentoo.igz ..... ready

Decompressing Linux ... Parsing ELF... done.
Booting the kernel.

Then it stops and won't proceed.

Any ideas?

Play with the options on the CD, like nodetect. Also give it time before calling it dead.
Or try a different live CD, like the system rescue cd

Thanks for your support.

I was waiting for about 10 min and absolutely no reaction.

I recompiled the kernel for i386 and it worked. I mean the kernel image booted, of course the rest of the system not )). So, something is wrong with the gentoo kernel. Not with my hardware ))

Wait. Did you install the installation CD to the flash drive, or install Gentoo on the flash drive?
The guide you followed was supposed to give you an environment to install Gentoo, not give you a working Gentoo installation.

for the instillation, you need to follow these directions: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml
