Hi all again..

Reading the post of Tedwardo I remember a problem with a SATA disk, the
Gentoo livecd was not detected my SATA disk, looking for other people with
that problem I found this:

Use libata.ata_enabled=1, unfortunnely I sold that pc and I have no time to
try that.. but my point is: have you ever seen that problem?, have you any
idea about it?

Thank you very much in advance...
