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...

also, a good debugging technique is to add support for all devices first then eliminate (work top down).
so modularize all the sata devices available in the kernel, then if it works you can start taking some at, wittling it down.
(i know with my nw8440 the sata was originally labeled incorrectly in the output of lspci)
...if it still doesn't work then you know it's not a problem with the drivers :D

good luck

Hi,

I am trying to set up a T43 with grub.

I installed grub, set up the grub.conf file and it gets past the splash
screen and starts to load devices, then a kernel panic:

Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block (2,0)

This lapttop has sata drive I guess, I have the kernel sata driver
loaded, and I have tried all kinds of various alternatives such as hda3,
sda1, hda1, (hd0,0) etc...  I know that the "root" is correct because
the splash screen is fine.

Does anybody have experience setting up grub on a T43?

Thanks
rick
