I had a similar problem when I got my current machine last summer. |
| 11 |
here's how to solve it... |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
1) boot from the Gentoo CD |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
2) execute "lsmod". This lists all the modules that the kernel has |
| 16 |
loaded. One of them is running the drive. If you get desparate, build |
| 17 |
each module into your kernel, one at a time, until you find what works. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
3) execute "lspci -v". The listing *FOR THE DRIVE* (as well as the |
| 20 |
controller) may show what module it wants. Compile that into the |
| 21 |
kernel. |
