Got this one working now. Still many features arn't working yet such as alsa and wifi but I think I will make it now. The driver I needed seem to be AHCI SATA. Was rather difficult to identify that that is the right driver because lspci states: 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801FBM (ICH6M) SATA Controller (rev 04) and you can't find 82801 in .config Also it seems to me that the driver should be statically loaded and not as a module (which now makes sense unless I could have changed things in modules.conf or similar). May I suggest/encourage people to write summaries (such as was a custom in sun managers mailing list (sun.unc.edu?) so other people can learn and save time?
