Hi Ciaran,

Thanks for your advice.

Tried as follows;

1)Booting up the PC with CD#1
2)At prompt
# modprobe ataraid
(no response)
# modprobe scsiraid
modprobe: Cant' locate module scsiraid

Continued
# gentoo doataraid

Network configuration without problem, broadband connected
# ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com
showing connected

Continued
Partition with "fdisk"
After finish, rebooted PC

# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/disc: 40.0 GB
16 heads, 63 sectors/track, 77557 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 1008 = 512 = 516096 bytes

Devices /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/part1
Boot    #
Start   1
End     77557
Block   39000696+
Id      83
System  Linux

Disk /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/disc: 40.0 GB
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4866 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 = 512 = 8225280 bytes

Devices /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1
Boot    *
Start   1
End     5
Block   40131
Id      83
System  Linux

Devices /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part2
Boot    
Start   6
End     68
Block   506947+
Id      83
System  Linux

Devices /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3
Boot    
Start   69
End     4066
Block   38539935
Id      83
System  Linux

The hard drive connected to bus1 seems not in use, only the hard drive
connected to bus0 partitioned.  If it is the case I will continue the
test to install gentoo.

Kindly advise.  Thanks in advance.

B.Regards
Stephen
