My motherboard went on the blink earlier this week. |
2 |
I've now successfully installed a new one, |
3 |
but now can't get the kernel to find the SATA hard disk ("803 etc"). |
4 |
|
5 |
The problem seems to be that the kernel has AHCI enabled, |
6 |
which was necessary for the old mobo, |
7 |
but the new one's BIOS doesn't have an option to select AHCI. |
8 |
The Ubuntu + Mandriva partitions start properly, as does System Rescue, |
9 |
so the problem has to be in the Gentoo kernel configuration. |
10 |
|
11 |
(1) Can I simply drop AHCI from the kernel or do I need to do something else ? |
12 |
(2) Can I recompile the kernel without going thro' a partial re-install |
13 |
or do I need to do a change-root etc to get it to work ? |
14 |
|
15 |
Can anyone advise ? |
