...boot problems...

Howdy.

I just installed Gentoo on my Dell development
machine.

I followed the x86 guide from the Gentoo site.

A first note, I don't know what the hell I'm doing.  I
just want to make that clear :)

On boot I get some errors.

I see:
==================================================
( some messages ) 

* Activating swap...
Adding Swap: blah blah [ok]
/sbin/runscript.sh: XSESSION: command not found
/sbin/runscript.sh: XSESSION: command not found

( a few more messages )

/sbin/runscript.sh: XSESSION: command not found
* Setting hostname to mtdev02... [ok]

( more messages, with an occasional XSESSION error as
listed above )

* Loading module sg...
* Failed to load sg [!!]

* Loading module sr_mod...
* Failed to load sr_mod [!!]

( more XSESSION errors )

* Bringing lo up... [ok]

( several more XSESSION errors )

( some success lines, more XSESSION errors )

* Bringing eth0 up...
* Failed to bring eth0 up [!!]

( a couple more success lines, followed by a final
XSESSION error )

====================================================

I attempted to follow the install guide completely.  I
did stage1, 2, and 3.

The part that I suspect most was my kernel
configuration.  I added pre-emptable kernel and things
suggested in the doc.

I'm particularly confused by the XFS-related errors,
since I specifically turned XFS off in the kernel, and
I'm only using ext3 (for /boot) and ReiserFS (for /).

Any suggestions?  If I'm in really sad shape, tell me
"go back to RedHat" if that's what I should do.

Thanks,
Michael
