Andrew is right, this is wrong list. Anyway, you should check that |
2 |
modules for your IDE controller are loaded in initrd (or compiled into |
3 |
kernel). |

|
5 |
You can do this by selecting the second choice in grub (rescue). It |
6 |
will boot into busybox (a very basic shell) and you should be (un)able |
7 |
to mount filesystems. I don't know what exactly will busybox do for |
8 |
your, but maybe you will need to create device node by hand. |

For more informations, please write to gentoo-user list, or contact me |
11 |
personally (but NOT this list, unless this is gentoo-installer's |
12 |
problem). |
