 |
|
Hello all. I am fairly new to linux and am trying to install gentoo onto my SATA equiped laptop. I have found the solution to a problem I was having in that I need to enable CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_AHCI in the conifig file. I do not have any clue how to go about this. Could someone walk me through it in detail? I know how to mount my gentoo install off of the live cd, just need to know where and how to get at this CONFIG file. Thanks!

There are front ends to work with the CONFIG file to make it easyer to work with. When inside the /usr/src/linux folder type make menuconfig it will bring up a menu driven check box type editor for the kernels CONFIG file. As for your sata drive all you have to do to enable that is follow my little guide.
| Code: |
Device Drivers --->
SCSI device support --->
SCSI low-level drivers --->
<*> Serial ATA (SATA) support
<*> AHCI SATA support
|
And that assumes your trying to boot into your created enviroment, not your live cd and not using a gen-kernel. |
