OK. this is the most frustrating thing i've ever had with Gentoo.

I can boot with the liveCD. I can load the produles, ataraid and
pdcraid. it does work. I install successfully. Then i install Grub.
I follow the howto and do root=/dev/ataraid/d0p1
My /boot is a seperate partition in hda1.

But it just doesn't boot.

Grub does not know what /dev/ataraid/d0p1 is. To it it doesn't work.

My hd's are:

hda= 40Gb HD use it for this and that. /boot is loacted here.
hdb= My backup HD and i also usually have swap here
hde & hdg= Raid striping. each is a 20Gb ATA100 drives.

In BIOS hda is the first to boot.

My raid is partitioned:

hda1 is /boot
disc0/part1 as root
disc0/part5 is swap

I know a LOT of people have got this working.

I tried everything that i found in gentoo's forum
Without any luck.

Its just Grub. thats whats making me very angry.

I also have WinXP in hda2, and i might install WinXP in disc0/part2
if i can get grub to boot it.

Any help will be appreciated.
