I recomplied all intel and promise modules into the kernel and it loads the drivers on boot. But to fix the problem completely. I changed root=/dev/ram0 to root=/dev/sda3 and removed real_root=/dev/sda3.
what is is the root=/dev/ram0 for? Is it needed? -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Potter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 4:10 AM To: gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org Subject: Re: [gentoo-user] SATA Boot problem-please help C R.

Compile all the promise and all theintel device modules into your kernel (Not as modules). Reboot and it should pick it up. Then start removing modules 1 at a time from the kernel, recompiling, reboot, etc, until you figure out which one it is you need. For me it was the Promise TX2/4. I think. Also, SATA driver support is evolving, so be sure to have the latest kernel available. Good luck! -- Andrew Potter -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
