Thanks in advance for any tips or pointers. I'll post below some output I generated using my Bodhi boot disk that will tell you more about the target hardware.
What I need now is help in interpreting the kernel panic message and recommendations for how to recompile the kernel. It looks like, at the least, I've got to do another kernel compilation. So I know how to boot from my Bohdi USB drive and chroot back into Gentoo. I should also state that my aim was to do without an initramfs-that's why I took the recommendation to do the built-in command line. The kernal panic message, by the way, at the end of the stack trace, is "end kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount the root fs on unknown-block (0,0)." So it's obviously not finding the root file system and likely the drive/partition itself. So I need help determing what the issue is and how to fix it. I actually would have been surprised if the system had booted on a first try like this. On the reboot, as the machine began to boot into the new Gentoo installation, I got. Copied the kernel over to the fat32 partition on /boot/efi/boot and renamed it accordingly, crossed my fingers and rebooted. edit it during menuconfig to have a correct root= option." The option I entered in was root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 (3rd partition on the main hard drive, which is eMMC storage). I should mention that, when compiling the kernel, I went with the suggestion offered in this thread of "the. I made my way through that-even though at least 50% of the options made little to no sense to me-and got to the stage of rebooting the machine. Everything went pretty smoothly and I got to the part that I was most hesitant about, compiling the kernel. I went through the handbook, adapting the directions to my boot media, prepared disks, got and unpacked the stage 3 tarball on the prepared partition.
So yesterday I used my Bohdi bootable USB stick to install Gentoo. I learned on the MythTV users list that someone had managed to install and run quite well on their 1st generation Liva, a MythTV installation under Gentoo.
I'm coming back to Gentoo after all these years as a MythTV user who is upgrading hardware. All this is to say that, though I've been a member of this board for a long time and do have limited experience running Gentoo, I am still a newbie when it comes to installing and running this distro. I went back to Debian/Ubuntu after that, though I did, some years later, switch from that to Arch. I spent a few months administering the system before deciding that Gentoo was just too complex and time-consuming for me. The fact of the matter is that all those years ago a friend of mine who was a Gentoo user installed the OS onto my laptop, after which he turned it over to me and I administered the system for a time. Pay no attention to the fact that I've been a member of this forum for over a decade.
