hello, |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I installed gentoo from another livecd and then compiled the kernel |
| 27 |
and the initrd image to support sata_nv. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
It boots fine for me. Forget about using the nvraid, is not hardware, |
| 30 |
so if you need it, go sw raid or buy a decent RAID card. |

cheers |
