1.problem just like:

Code:
VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or 03:07
Please append a correct "root=" boot option
Kernel Panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 03:07


2.and i do the following,but does not works.:(

[+]IDE chipset (or SCSI controller) support not compiled or compiled as a module (and no initrd).
[+]filesystem support used on root partition not compiled or compiled as a module (and no initrd).
[+]support for MSDOS partition tables not compiled (CONFIG_PARTITION_ADVANCED -> CONFIG_MSDOS_PARTITION)(it happened!)

3.my server envirement:

A.boot from liveCD got the following messages:
dmesg info:

I had a similar problem. The way I got around it was to emerge gentoo-dev-sources (instead of gentoo-sources). It's a 2.6 kernel. Then I manually compiled my kernel, making sure the proper SCSI support was available... I had problems w/ the 2.4 kernels.

I've still got issues, but that should be a start. Try that.

I'm still struggling with something similar.

Can you post the lspci?

Is there someone forcing you to install Gentoo?

To make sure you have the right drivers loaded, go to /usr/src/linux then do make menuconfig".

You should have Serial ATA (SATA) support and the driver for your SATA driver selected in Device Drivers > SCSI support > SCSI low level drivers. I'd suggest building them right in instead of as modules.
