If you're building all of your drivers into the kernel statically (=y/*) and not as modules (=m), then using an initrd will not help you in the least - it is only useful in a situation like this when you need additional "modularized" drivers loaded before the kernel will see your rootfs. How did you initially get your Gentoo install on there - what did you boot - CD or USB? You should be able to boot that medium again, then check to see what driver it is using for the drive controller. I'm sure there's a more direct way to do this, but here is how I can easily find the info: cd /sys/block ls -al (should show something like): total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 May 6 16:48 . drwxr-xr-x 12 root root 0 Apr 22 10:49 .. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 fd0 -> ../devices/platform/floppy.0/block/fd0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 loop0 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 loop1 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 loop2 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 loop3 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 loop4 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 loop5 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 loop6 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 loop7 -> ../devices/virtual/block/loop7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram0 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram0 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram1 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram10 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram10 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram11 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram11 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram12 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram12 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram13 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram13 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram14 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram14 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram15 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram15 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram2 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram2 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram3 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram4 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram5 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram5 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram6 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram6 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram7 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram7 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram8 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram8 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 ram9 -> ../devices/virtual/block/ram9 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 sda -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host2/target2:0:0/2:0:0:0/block/sda lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 sdb -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/host3/target3:0:0/3:0:0:0/block/sdb lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 sdc -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb1/1-3/1-3:1.0/host83/target83:0:0/83:0:0:0/block/sdc lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:51 sr0 -> ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sr0 Find your hard drive (let's use sda as the example here), and cd into the link up to the hostX part: cd ../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f.2/ ls -al driver (should show something like) lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 May 6 16:49 driver -> ../../../bus/pci/drivers/ata_piix >From this I can tell that it is the "ata_piix" driver that is used for the controller that my sda disk is connected to. From there you can modify your kernel config to include the correct driver (compiled statically, I'd recommend, for your root device at least), and then you should be good to go.
