Hey everyone
I made a minimal Gentoo stage 4 system for the Raspberry Pi, with all packages for it recompiled specifically against the Pi's CFLAGS etc
It should be a simple 'untar and boot' operation

I tried to use this image, but it doesn't work for me. I think I am missing something.
I had two tries with the same result -> It stops booting after recognizing my USB device (keyboard).
The only difference was that I the first try was using the special cylinder/.. partitions as recommended here http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Raspberry_Pi . In the 2nd try I preinstalled Raspbian and formated the partitions afterwards.
On my laptop with cardreader I mounted partition 2 and copied the tar.gz to it. Than I just used
tar xvfpz raspberry.tar.gz
Then I mounted the fat partition to boot and copied the files from boot2 in it. Unmount all and tried to boot.

Try letting the system boot without any USB devices connected, the Pi has known "bugs" with USB devices (keyboards especially)
