Re: [gentoo-amd64] SATA2 Recommendations

[Darren Grant]

This may be a stupid question, but what's the process for compiling the 
initrd image to include support for sata_nv

Using the experimental LiveCD suggested by Homer worked, and I was able 
to setup Gentoo... but it fails on the grub startup after rebooting... 
sounds like that might be the problem...
