| I used genkernel to compile the kernel. When I boot the new kernel I get a failure stating that /dev/sdb3 doesn't exist. Sure enough ls /dev/sd* or any other variation reports that there are no sata devices at all. I have done some searching in the forums and found this problem on intel boards and asus boards. My ECS board has the nvidia chipset on it. I really don't know what else to do from here. |

With a very high probability you missed to add your sata controller in
the kernel config. Change to /usr/src/linux, issue
| Code: |
grep -i sata_nv .config
|
and you should see something like
| Code: |
CONFIG_SCSI_SATA_NV=y
|
If this is not the case try make menuconfig and take a look at
the driver section. Have no possibility to test it here right now to give
you the exact menu-sequence.
