2.6.19 introduced libata in the kernel. All hda's are detected as sda
if
libata drivers are used. Boot into Ubuntu. Mount the Gentoo partition
and
paste the device.map file in Gentoo's /boot/grub/
There's no /boot/grub since I did NOT install Gentoo's grub.There's only
a
/boot with the following:
OK, first, fdisk /dev/hda in Ubuntu and make sure it doesn't complain about partition numbers not being in order. If they are, switch to expert mode with `x', fix the order with `f', come back to the normal mode with `r' and then save and quite with `w'.
If the above is not the issue, try using sda9 as root instead of hda9 in the kernel line.
Ideally, figure out where genkernel stores its kernel config and do a grep -i ata on it and send us the output.
1]No problems with fdisk.
2]Tried sda9,/dev/sda9,(sda,8),(sda,9),all have the same effect that is the valid root block device is not found.If it's of any help,it gives that error after loading the tg3 and e1000 modules and activating mdev. 3]Now,what's that?I need to know what I'm looking for before I run out in search of it.
@Rony It's not a Gentoo-based distro that I'm after,what I want to do is find out more deep foo stuff about linux + Mehul told me that Gentoo was among the first distros(THE first?) to support my motherboard.(Intel D101GGC)
I've tried Sabayon earlier and about new distros detecting my card,Ubuntu 7.04 with Compiz-Fusion is running right now,and that's live proof of what you said.
Thanks to all for your efforts.
