title: Gentoo Installation on Virtualbox, startx fails
body: <p>I followed the Gentoo <a href="http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gentoo-x86-quickinstall.xml" rel="nofollow"><code>Linux x86 Quick Installation Guide</code></a> the base system is installed on virtualbox. I want gnome in it. The docs say I need to install <code>hal</code>. But <code>emerge</code> says <code>there are no ebuilds to satisfy "hal"</code>. I did <code>eselect profile list</code> and then did <code>eselect profile set 4</code> which is <code>[4]   default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop/gnome</code> as this <a href="http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-811651-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-0.html" rel="nofollow">forum post</a> says. Then I did 
  <code>emerge -e system</code> which took several hours and downloaded lots of files. after that I did a restart and <code>startx</code> fails, even <code>Xorg -configure</code> fails. saying</p>
