It may be worth mentioning I've experience similar problems with an old MoBo, |
| 12 |
different to yours. Eventually I narrowed it down to a loose SATA connector |
| 13 |
on the MoBo. It would either fail completely to boot, or it would boot but |
| 14 |
the disk would make a clicking noise. I initially suspected a dying disk, but |
| 15 |
after I reseated the cable on the MoBo the problem went away, for a while, |
| 16 |
until I reseated it once more. :-) |

The ATA disk would boot normally (IDE controller). |

Anyway, just make sure you have enable AHCI instead of IDE type controller on |
| 21 |
your BIOS menu for the SATA disk and have configured the Gentoo kernel |
| 22 |
appropriately to include AHCI. |
