I have a Pentium 200MMX

this is my 2nd attempt and it failed again

Everything went succesfull

I have set the correct HOST, CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS, with a commented USE-variable.

What could have gone wrong?

I had a system once that kept rebooting itself. I had accidentily installed/emerged the ACPI packages, while it wasnt ACPI compliant. Sometimes it just rebooted then. Perhaps in your case as well?

Could you please go to /usr/src/linux, run "make menuconfig", select "Processor type and features", and tell us what the very first line "Processor family" says?

I restarted using the CD as rescue disk

I did:

# mkdir /mnt/gentoo
# mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/gentoo
# mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/gentoo/boot

# mount --bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc
-> error:
mount: invalid option -- -
mount: invalid option -- b
mount: invalid option -- i
mount: invalid option -- d
mount: Mounting /proc on /mnt/gentoo/proc failed= Block device required

/usr/src/linux -> no such file or dir

i have used the cd to boot into an install that had trouble and never mounted /proc. i usually just made certain the swap was on and that mounting /boot was done also incase a kernel rebuild (usually what i needed) was the issue. but try mount -o bind /proc /mnt/gentoo/proc and see if that works.

and when you mount /boot there is not need to mkdir /mnt/gentoo/boot it will exist but if you do it wont hurt anything it will just tell you its already there.

Could you please write again in proper English

You must emerge the kernel sources. You have a few choices here - look in /usr/portage/sys-kernel for details. If you haven't already, please read the installation guide (which I notice says "1.4" now).
