Clone with VirtualBox
I want to test severeal configuration like kde with gentoo or other test configuration.That's why, I create a common gentoo virtual machine and I clone it.
You can clone your virtual machine like that :
VBoxManage clonevdi ${HOME}/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/Gentoo_common.vdi ${HOME}/.VirtualBox/HardDisks/Gentoo_kde.vdi
Then, Clic add and after when you add you hard drive, choose your vdi file.

EXT3-fs couldn't mount because unsupported option No file system could mount root
I decide to update my Gentoo Virtual machine on my VirtualBox.
I configured my /etc/fstab like that :
/dev/sda1 /boot ext4 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/sda3 / ext4 noatime 0 1
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
I also apply the EXT4 filesystem with mkfs.ext4
When I ran my Virtual machine, I have a kernel panic with the following message : EXT3-fs couldn't mount because unsupported option No file system could mount root
In fact, I forgot to add EXT4 support to my kernel. See this link to add EXT4 support on your kernel : EXT4_kernel
