I posted this on forums, but no one give me a clue, so i ask for here, hoping someone can help me out.<br> <br>For saving your time, let me first illustrate my prob briefly. I have an ASUS K8N4-4 nForce4 mainboard, and a 160G Maxtor SATA harddisk (6V160E0). But all of the kernels (>
2.6.13) couldnt recognize my harddisk, it showed the VFS: Cannot open root device "sda9" or unknown-block(0,0) error when booting. I tried gentoo-sources, genkernel, vanilla-kernel,mm-sources and even sabayon-sources, they all failed. However, the kernels <=
2.6.13 work well. I know you might tell me to have a look at my kernel config, check twice that had i enabled the SATA device support, I really did it, you can take a look at my kernel config in this thread. <br> <br> I tried the K8N4-E keywords in this forums, i found there were many guys who use that mainboard suffering the same prob. Such as:

</li></ol>in the 2nd one, someone named addeman also confirmed this weird prob, and no one really gave a solution. <br> <br>Recently I had a chance to try Kubuntu 7.04 feisty LiveCD, i found it could recognize my SATA harddisk with
kernel-2.6.20, it makes me wondering is it a prob of the kernel itself or the gentoo system. So i downloaded Fedora 7 LiveCD (kernel-2.6.21), it can also recognize my sata device! Then i decided to have a test on Fedora 7 LiveCD's kernel by a dirty way, i copyed the vmlinuz image,the modules and the
modprobe.conf setting into my gentoo system, try to boot from Fedora's kernel, it failed with the same VFS: Cannot open root device "sda9" or unknown-block(0,0) error. <br> <br> Okay, now let me tell you my gentoo setting. Here's my partition list.

<br></div> <br> To confirm it's not the prob of kernel itself, i diffed the ata section between vanilla-kernel and ubuntu kernel, there's no special patches for ubuntu kernel, and actually Fedora 7 LiveCD's kernel is quite the same as vanilla-kernel. So its not the prob of kernel itself, in i say.
<br> <br> IMHO, maybe its the compatibility prob between the ASUS K8N4-E mainboard and Gentoo system, forget my silly words if i were wrong, cuz at least kernels<=2.6.13 work well in my Gentoo system please share your ideas with me and help me out of this looooooooooooong time prob. Thx for your patience and enthusiastic help.
