Yes. You can also use "generic ide" as a backup-driver if you don't know which
one to use, but you'll lose dma.

Yes, run lspci as root and it will spit out what you have. Your
motherboard manual may also give the information.

You need ide drivers for your chipset AND your filesystem compiled in your
kernel or in an initrd.
Your grub.conf seems OK since VFS is telling you "root device hde4"

Hi,
I've just installed Gentoo alongside XP. /dev/hde is
my main harddrive. I'm getting the error
"VFS: Cannot open root device "hde4" or
uknown-block(0,0)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel panic.."

It's a 120 Gig harddrive
