You could try lspci |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
I would recommend to try it from the live cd (because under gentoo you |
| 33 |
may need to emerge it first - otherwise it doesn't matter). |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
Within the output search for something like SATA Controller or PATA |
| 36 |
Controller. If you can't find a matching driver google for the output |
| 37 |
of lspce and kernel module. |
| 38 |
If it's a SATA device in most cases the generic AHCI |
| 39 |
(CONFIG_SATA_AHCI) seems to work. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
You could also try lsmod though the problem is, that you would need to |
| 42 |
know the names of possible modules. |
