I have a problem with my SCSI cdrom

My problem is:

---- CD not found



Does the following line exist in /etc/modules.d/aliases?


alias scsi_hostadapter aic7xxx

It needs to be there. If you added it, you will need to run modules-update and reboot.

(I'm assuming that you don't load this from an initrd. In this case, you would also need to add to your bootloader configuration the following append string:

initrd=/path/to/initrd_image

And the appropriate alias needs to be set in the initrd modules configuration)

HTH,

I don't have a system yet this is when I insert the cd and want to install the gentoo cd's

I'm not new to linux but I have not done any of the bootloader things before
I have the gentoo screen after booting from cd where I can select the kernel and then it tries to boot and teh I'm in a shell or something else


Any help appreciated!!!

BTW: How small can gentoo be (MB)???
