[Wlug] I am getting discouraged with Gentoo on ULTRA1

[ken jones]

For those of you who are kind enough to care....sigh.

On my Ultra1 I succeeded in following the directions in 
<http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-sparc.xml>
to the letter, or so I thought.  I "emerge'd" successfully.  I
compiled successfully.  I chroot'd successfully.  I removed
the CD from its drive. I boot'd and I got the following.

yadda yadda yadda....
VFs: Mounted root(ext3 filesystem) readonly
Mounted devfs on /dev
FATAL: kernel too old
Unimplemented SPARC system call 188
Kernel panic: Attempted to kill init!
Press Li-A to return to the  boot prom

I compiled kernel-2.4.34. I chose 2.4 over 2.6 because the
handbook hinted I should..

Now I do not even know what questions to ask myself.  I checked
Google on the "kernel too old" message and the "Attempted to
kill" message.  I could not understand the few matches that
it found.

My bet is that I need bigger SCSI hard drives.
I'll also be glad to shut up if this is getting boring.
