Gentoo instalation woes

Hello peeps,

I've been trying to install gentoo 2004.2 from LiveCD distro for a while now. I've managed to get over a few hurdles, all self created I'm sure. But now that I come to the actual reboot after installing the boot loader and etcetera I find that my kernel hangs somewhere about the ide drives.

I've tried both a self configured and genkernel kernel with the same result. I think I'm getting very tired now and need someone else to spot my glaring error.



...
hda: SAMSUNG CDRW/DVD SM-308B...
ide0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7,0x3f6 on irq 14
hdc: ST310014A, ATA Disk drive
hdd: APATI 44x CDROM...
ide1 at 0x170-0x177,0x376 on irq 15
hdc: max request size: 128KiB
hdc: 20005650 sectors (10242MB) w/2048KiB Cache, CHS=19846/16/63, UDMA(106)
 dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0: p1 p2 p3
hda: ATAPI 32x DVD-ROM CD-R/RW drive, 2048kB Cache, DMA
Uniform CD-ROM driver Revision: 3.20
hdd: ATAPI 40x CD-ROM drive, 128kB Cache, UDMA(33)


Then it hangs there.

grep -v '#' config-2.6.7-gentoo-r11
lilo.conf

I have a P3-500 based machine. Yes the HD is at hdc as I wasn't paying attention to cables when I threw it together. It's a pretty unremarkable machine that has run other distros with no problems.

Any help from anyone who can be bothered to go through these configs is welcome.
