you may be new to linux, but you shouldnn't be afraid to use terminal and reading and understanding some instructions.

so this might help , a general approach to solve this issue Grub error 15

as you installed it in virtualbox , i know gentoo installation takes time, you might retry or install easier distros like sabayoon(gentoo based)

i installed gentoo and it was not were grub problem it was kernel problem, genkernel all does`t compiling right and it can`t make initramfs so it was probblem , so i did kernel kompiling with to hends, and everything done, thx for replay

yeah, i thought so , because grub error 15 is so trivial.
