Hi Ryan, The / partition is ext3. The ufs message is just a warning. I don't need UFS support. Any other clue?

Hi Hemmann, well, I don't have a good reason to use initrd, but this is an attempt to try putting gentoo running on my server. I'll kick out ufs but I don't think that this is the problem.

Re: [gentoo-user] Installation AMD64 with SCSI
Leandro, you can start by going through the handbook and following the steps. Maybe print off if you don't have a second system to view while installing. Post more specific problem if you encounter one. When configuring the kernel you will need to enable specific options depending on hardware. You can use lspci to get some hardware information.
