I've tried, in the past few days, to install gentoo.
I think I have completed the install handbook correctly, and it worked without errors.
However when I boot, everything seems to go correctly, but then I see:
INIT version 2.84 booting

and then it hangs. Numlock doesn't react etc

I know, it's a vague error. Anything I should check?

Some info:

# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
# Adding the following line to /etc/fstab should take care of this:

none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0

make sure an appropiate runlevel is set in your /etc/inittab and maybe take alook at the other stuff in there...
