[gentoo-user] Re: SATA Drive Boot Problems

[Rob Moore]

I have a SIIG EIDE Ultra Ata-133 controller and my sole drive is hooked 
up to it. I've been having the same issues with booting as Dwight. After 
I install and reboot, I get the kernel panic message. I was thinking in 
my case the problem might have to do with the fact that there's no drive 
connected to the motherboard's controller, but now I'm wondering if it 
has something to do with the SIIG controller. Perhaps I'm jumping the 
gun here...

with no problems.  I am using the 3com ethernet port, not the nforce
one, but I don't need the nv closed-source drivers (other than video,
which works) for anything.
By the way, I'm using the SiI SATA controller, and I could never get
the computer to boot off of it (well, it worked in windows, but that
hardly counts).  I'm having the best luck using LILO with /boot on a
PATA hard drive--I'm sure this isn't what you want to hear.
