Guys,
I know this is off-topic. But I would like to play around with Gentoo under a sandbox environment.
I currently tried to install Gentoo (2004.1) under FC2 with VNware 4.5.2-8848.
I've looked a 2 websites that detailed how they did it but for some reason, mine doesn't work. I've tried both SCSI and IDE virtual drives.
Once booted into Gentoo, I do a fdisk, it will tell me that the disk is not initialised and then I do a "w" and after that, I reboot, (nothing else), then VMware will just hang there and do nothing else.
I even tried installing it all the way to the end but it proved to be pointless.
Anyone has a clue??
Not that I'm really into gentoo, but have you tried booting in your VMware from a rescue CD and then create a single partition before you install gentoo? Don't know if fdisk will just initialize a disk...
Just a best guess
