When i rub /sbin/lilo, it adds gentoo with no error messages, but when

seconds and then turns off. Nothing happenes untill i press reset.
Any ideas how to make it start?
did you tried to leave out the vga=788-line
Better yet, change it to vga=normal (which I believe is the default
anyway). I had this problem a while back with Slackware. I compiled in
support for the ATI Rage 128 framebuffer instead of the VESA VGA
framebuffer. It turned out my chipset was too new. After I selected the
Slackware option in Lilo, the screen would go completely blank, but it
was obvious the computer was still booting from all the hd activity.
And, as someone else pointed out, you need to add 'root = /dev/hda12'
under your Gentoo section.
