My linacks wont boot, I had problems with repos.conf and gentoo.conf as they were empty but otherwise installation seemingly went fine

Looks like you specified the wrong root disk or built your kernel lacking the drivers needed for your root block device. Make sure your bootloader has the proper root=[your root disk] in your bootloader

Also Ensure you have:
- disk driver (AHCI most likely)
- root disk filesystem support (like ext4fs)
available for your kernel. If you built as modules, ensure that you have them in your initramfs - but if just starting out, you probably should compile them in your kernel as "Y" instead as a "M"odule.

Pastebin or post the contents of your "lspci" with the mininstaller as well as your kernel configuration.

I have an X220 and can post a working 4.14 kernel config if you want it - just ask!

Just bear in mind I don't use any of that "modern nonsense" - I use BIOS rather than EFI and systemd? Never heard of it.
