Huh? I just installed gentoo there. |

Yes, I wondered about that. Previously in the config |
| 15 |
options there were NV_SATA (this is an nVidia board) |
| 16 |
and another for Sil3114(my SATA controller), forget |
| 17 |
the exact option. That was for my earlier install when |
| 18 |
I was still operating from the IDE HD and using that |
| 19 |
to configure the SATA HD. This, present, install is |
| 20 |
using the latest gentoo.org offering. These options |
| 21 |
are nowhere to be found in make menuconfig, just a |
| 22 |
generic-looking SATA_CONFIG(something like that). In |
| 23 |
fact, when I boot from the install disk and do a lsmod |
| 24 |
all the appropriate modules have been loaded(except |
| 25 |
for the audio, which is easy to fix later), even |
| 26 |
forcedeth, another option that this mobo requires |
| 27 |
which was in the earlier config options but is now |
| 28 |
missing. The Panic _does_ occur at about the spot |
| 29 |
where the boot console is supposed to be finding the |
| 30 |
drive. Why would they put drivers in the iso but not |
| 31 |
the sources on the same CD? Weird. |
