hda1/2 -> ntfs partitions
hda3 -> /boot -> ext3
hda4(extended)(hda5) / root -> reiserfs
hda6 ext3 (nothing yet)
hda7 - swap
grub.conf:
| Code: | default=0
timeout 30
splashimage(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=default gentoo
root(hd0,4)
kernel (hd0,2)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r6
initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r6

It doesn't relevant to the bootloader configuration, it stucks while loading kernel,
I've seen many posts about this issue but no solution,
Anyone? under *ANY* other distributions it just works fine, I tried to install slackware/redhat and things work smoothly,
Please, anyone? |

trouby,
try compiling your kernel by hand. It might be a problem with genkernel.

Do you realize what a boot loader does and is?
Or what and where kernel arguments are set??
Yes, the bootloader is *very* relevent...
Try replacing the above bootloard configuration with this:
| Code: | default=0
timeout 30
splashimage(hd0,2)/boot/grub/splash.xpm.gz
title=default gentoo
root(hd0,4)
kernel (hd0,2)/boot/kernel-2.4.20-gentoo-r6 root=/dev/hda5
initrd (hd0,2)/boot/initrd-2.4.20-gentoo-r6 |

it's not relevant, the partition check from my understanding is just a part of the kernel, after kernel recognize the IDE controller, anyway I installed kernel again, didn't work, COMPIled again, didn't change anything and not it works smooth, really weird, I didn't change anything.
About the bootloader, lilo/grub showed the same results, if you'll seek in the forum a lot of people encountered the same problem, and no one replied with satisfied solution for that, so I guess it is all relevant to the IDE controller, but not sure.
Anyway, thank you for your time. |

I don't know if this is causing your problem or not but ...
You say hda -> /boot but in your grub.conf you have lines like:
These lines should be
Unless you put things under /boot/boot/. |

Hmm, I think you can both. even when you enter to the command line prompt under grub you can specify 'kernel (hd0,x)/boot (u can use the tab command, it adds the next letters automatically.
anyway, I tried with lilo too, not relevant
