Hello,
I want to install gentoo on a computer with a serial-ata disk.
With the basic ivecd 1.4 my intel serial-ata controller is not detected.
I have read in the forums that stables kernels don't support many serial-ata
controller, so my question is that what is the way i can use to intall gentoo
in my box.
For intel SATA controller most MB's can be configured for
'comaptibility' (not native) mode. In this mode, you can use one PATA
port and two SATA (as primary and slave), and this mode comaptible with
old drivers in kernel 2.4.x. On my comp (i865-based MB and Maxtor 120GB
SATA) livecd gentoo kernel (2.4.20) still unbootable, but I can boot
with smp kernel and install gentoo, and then switch to 2.6 kernel.
