[gentoo-user] Gentoo and ICH9 Sata

[Leandro Sales]

Hi,
  I'm trying to install Gentoo on a Intel xeon quad-core intel xeon
computer. The SATA controller is ICH9, I then enabled ATA_PIIX in the
kernel as built-in. The livecd boots properly and I can do fdisk
/dev/sda, but after installing the system and reboot, the system says
that /dev/sda2 is not recognized as a root partition. Any suggestion
to solve this issue? Some helpful messages are:

Driver 'sd' needs updating -- please use bus_type method
ata_piix 000:00:1f.2: MAP [ P0 P2 P1 P3 ]
PCI: Unable to reverse I/O region #1:8@1f0 for device 000:00:1f.2
ata_piix 000:00:1f.2: failed to request/iomap BARs for port0 (errno=-1)
ata_piix 000:00:1f.5:: MAP [ P0 -- P1 -- ]
scsi0: ata_piix
scsi1: ata_piix
no available native port

Thank you,
Leandro.

You need to enable ACHI and the SATA options in the kernel
