Problem detecting SATA disks under P5K Premium

Hi everyone,

I got a brand new computer (P5K Premium, Q6600, 4Go ram, etc ...).

I used to run over Ubuntu but i said "well, i'm gonna switch to that awsome Gentoo !"

I use the live CD every is allright ..

But when i try to boot, gentoo only fin the first partition (/dev/sda1) on my sata disk and hence fails mounting my root directory (/dev/sda3).

My BIOS configuration is Jmicron activated, sata activated (compatible, AHCI) ...

I've compiled all the modules i seem to need with regards to ohter topics (Intel ICH, JMicron PATA, and so on)

But it always fails and i'm about to become completely crazy ! ! !!

Has anyone an idea ?

tks

PS: sorry for my poor english, i'm french ...

I also have the P5K Premium, Q6600, 4Gb ram. Use my 2.6.24 kernel config (which doesn't include support for that horrible jmicron, or the built-in sound).

Thanks a lot !

Are the 2.6.24 sources avalaible because during my installation the latest sources were pointing to 2.6.23 !?!?

I will try to find them and apply your config !

tks

The kernel 2.6.24 is in ~ version, so yes, but you have to use the /etc/portage/package.keyword to release it.

thanks ...

Just a last question

Are you disked plug on intel ICH9R or on Jmicron ?

I'm completely ignoring jmicron. Had enough problems with it, on my previous P5W motherboard

Oki, well ...

But i dont understand, why does this ***** Jmicron works well under the live cd (as i manage to mount my partitions without any problems) but dont under the hard distrib ?!?

Thanks for your patience ! ! !!
