Subject: [gentoo-user] Install hangs while "Scanning for ata_piix"
Date: Tue, 16 Aug 2005 03:29:54 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <43014192.7060805@xs4all.nl> (raw)

Hi there,

Trying to re-install Gentoo with the following drive config:
1 IDE 120GB HD on primary IDE channel as master
2 IDE CDROM drive on secondary IDE channel as master
3 S-ATA 160GB HD on first S-ATA channel
4 S-ATA 160GB HD on second S-ATA channel

I want to install Gentoo on both S-ATA disks and use the IDE disk as a 
backup device (it already contains a backup so it may not be touched 
during installation).

Made sure the BIOS recognised all drives and booted up the 2005.1 
LiveCD. After the entering gentoo at the boot: prompt, the installation 
just hangs at
 >> Loading modules
:: Scanning for ata_piix

I also tried boot: gentoo doscsi, but to no avail.

FWIW, this is on a A-Open AX4SG motherboard.

Does anyone know how to get past the Scanning for ata_piix?
Many thanks

ps: If I specify boot: gentoo noload=ata_piix, setup continues but later 
hangs after
