Additionally, it seems that there are problems with the SATA driver. Look at http://www.copestake.org/4651lmi.html and http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-356273-highlight-.html. Maybe it's Gentoo specific, maybe not, but it might be worth a try. You'll have to disable CONFIG_IDE, enable CONFIG_SCSI_ATA_PIIX and build your own kernel, though. But given that the laptop is new and you're just installing the system, I that you've got nothing to loose... Koen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
