Hi Isern, |

I actually have the exact same problem, and someone was kind enough to |
| 4 |
help me so I'll pass on the same info. Basically my problem was that I |
| 5 |
hadn't enabled the proper IDE Chipset (or SCSI if you use S-ATA) in the |
| 6 |
kernel. When I booted off my Gentoo install cd, I can 'lspci -v' which |
| 7 |
showed me what type of chipset I was looking for to enable in the |
| 8 |
kernel. Give that a try and it should solve your problem. |
