Well, that makes two of us.
Gentoo doesn't seem to like my hard drive (Seagate ST360021A connected to a Highpoint HPT372N), because whenever I boot the LiveCD, it says something about "no known IDE timings" for my hard drives and then kernel panics with "not syncing - Attempted to kill init!." When I disconnect that drive's data cable, the LiveCD boots just fine. Too bad I need to install Gentoo on that drive.
Also, that hard drive controller only has experimental Linux support (at least it does with Darik's Boot and Nuke). And my wireless LAN adapter (D-Link DWL-120+) is a "Windapter." So I guess you should Google all of your hardware and make sure it works with Linux. There may be hacks for some higher-level hardware, though, as my WLAN adapter has a Linux "driver" that uses the WinXP drivers.
