I just did this myself with an amd64 system. My recommendation is to use the |
| 2 |
genkernel at first, and then go through and configure it yourself after the |
| 3 |
system is up and running - and you know you have a stable system to fall back |
| 4 |
on. I've also found the most success - at least as far as everything |
| 5 |
on my box |
| 6 |
working smoothly - by using the gentoo suplied kernels/config/patches. |

I agree with the post below, your exact issue is almost positvly a issue of |
| 9 |
compiling SATA support, and if you use genkernel, it will compile in support |
| 10 |
for you. The part of the documentation you need to look at is here, assuming |
| 11 |
that you've already emerged the kernel source: |
| 12 |

If however, you're doing a dual boot with windows, you're partition map would |
| 15 |
likely be different, with /dev/sda3 not being your linnux root, and you |
| 16 |
need to |
| 17 |
go back and look at what you've done before when setting up /etc/fstab. |

Good luck! - Adam. |
