This may be a stupid question, but what's the process for compiling the
initrd image to include support for sata_nv
Using the experimental LiveCD suggested by Homer worked, and I was able
to setup Gentoo... but it fails on the grub startup after rebooting...
sounds like that might be the problem...

I'm currently looking to build a cost effective web/email server.
I'm considering using an ASUS A8N-E with an x939 Athlon 64 x2 3800+ 2Ghz
processor. I'm also hoping to use RAID-1 over dual SATA2 drives. In
researching gentoo and SATA2, I've come across numerous problems that
people are experiencing with the 2005.1-r1live-cd install and the
sata_nv driver and SATA in general. Has this been fixed? Does anyone
have any advice for me? Has anyone successfully installed on SATA2
drives running with an nforce4 chipset mobo? If they haven't, were they
able to get SATA2 drives running as SATA1? Or at least SATA1 from a
fresh install of the 2005.1-r1 AMD64 livecd? I noticed a lot of problems
with the ASUS A8N-VM/CSM which is why I'm investigatin the A8NE.
If this has already been discussed, I apologize in advance... I'm new to
the list and couldn't find what I was looking for in the archives.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.

hello,
I installed gentoo from another livecd and then compiled the kernel
and the initrd image to support sata_nv.
It boots fine for me. Forget about using the nvraid, is not hardware,
so if you need it, go sw raid or buy a decent RAID card.
cheers
