Genkernel -- Megaraid Module startup issues

I am currently installing gentoo onto a hot-swappable scsi drive that can be cloned in order to have gentoo on several systems minus the considerable install time normaly needed. Normaly i object to the use of genkernel, but because there is not a standard for these systems, i have choosen to sacrafice boot time in favor of adaptability. The problem is when i boot the machine, it gets to the dialoge 'Loading Modules' it loads several, and list several as not found. But when it gets to megaraid, it just hangs. If anyone has any solutions to this problem, they would be greatly apreciated.

I belive this can be fixed by running "genkernel --menuconfig all" and deselecting the megaraid scsi device support.

seems to have stopped it for me

thats cool, thanks, but the problem is i need the scsi supprot, no worries, im just building an LFS system that im cloning, and keeping the /etc/ structure similar enough to use the portage tool.
