To boot my linux, I faced a JMicron eSata/Pata controller problem,
that prevented my SATA disk from being recognized. => I had to use a
2.6.23 kernel, founded on the gentoo forum. (the knoppix latest
released I used were 2.6.19 !!!) Do you also have a JMicron controller

Look at the kernel definition line:

You have to specify a file as a kernel and a / partition. Wherever
they are. If you want to share -or not- a unique /boot, feel free.

Is there a way to have human readable format with emerge ?
It could be much more convenient to have this kind of information more
readable :
Number of files: 122567
Number of files transferred: 675
Total file size: 159275947 bytes
Total transferred file size: 3030220 bytes
Literal data: 3030220
emerge --sync makes a call to rsync program ? I did not take the time
yet to learn more about Gentoo specific softwares, but I will do that
soon. Look at the sizes format in bytes. Today it often happens -well,
most of the time- several Mo of download, so the byte unit is not very
useful but Kb/Mb
Great !!
