[gentoo-user] Can't access disks after install

[Alan McKinnon <alan@linuxholdings.co.za>]

Hi,

Brand new install, and the kernel can't access the SATA disks. I don't
have the bandwidth to d/l an entire install CD and I have an up to date
distfiles locally so I used the latest install CD I have - 2005.1

Hardware: Dell Latitude D810 with 80G sata. 
/ on /dev/sda7 (reiser)
/boot on /dev/sda1 (ext2)
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86, latest udev installed.
/home, /usr, /opt, /var and distfiles on an lvm (all reiser)
Install disk boots fine with full access to the disk. 

On boot the initramfs detects the hardware, but complains it can't find
my / on /dev/sda7. Drop to a shell and the nodes are right there
in /dev. The reiser module is not loaded, but it was configured as a
module by genkernel.

Where could I have made a mistake? At this point I don't really need a
solution, more a pointer to the FM so I can R it :-)
