26 Hi;
27
28 This has nothing to do with your problem. (most likely)
29 But the bootparam you want to pass should look like 'hdc=scsi'.
30 Im not sure what 'Linux' is doing there either. Check your grub
31 /boot/grub/menu.lst probably.
32 My suggestion is to try the virgin kernel, (emerge
33 vanilla-sources )and see if
34 that works. If that works, then something in the gentoo grab bag
35 of patches is probably at fault. Unfortunately, that is
36 distributed as a combined tarball, which makes it hard to tell
37 exactly _what_ is in it. (Looking at Robbins post to
38 gentoo-announce, I would guess the -ac (Alan Cox) patches)
39 If you get virgin--err vanilla to work, then you could
40 try and apply the latest -ac patch. If the -ac patched kernel fails, then
41 you can head over to the linux-kernel mailing list
42 [goes to visit google]
43 Looks like someone beat you too it:

46 Seeing that it has already been reported, I would just
47 wait for a new version, and hope its fixed...
