Hello Richard, |
17 |
|
18 |
I looked at my boot logs, and I does appear that USB storage does get |
19 |
initialized before SATA. When I tried root=/dev/sda3, I got a similar |
20 |
error - only this one says it cannot read from sda3 (I did try other |
21 |
letters, and they all failed). I am beginning to think that the only |
22 |
way it will be possible to get a working Gentoo system on my computer is |
23 |
to open it up and install some more hard drives. |
24 |
|
25 |
Anyway, thanks you your advice and help. |
26 |

Regards, |
28 |
Chris |
