Probably nothing you're doing wrong. I've got the problem with a SCSI RAID (Adaptec 3210S). Gentoo can find it on an AMD system I have but on my PIII it never sees it - yet RH 7.3 and Knoppix see it with absolutely no problem. I've filed a bug but it hasn't been assigned to anyone yet.
I'd suggest you try using Knoppix (www.knoppix.net). Download it, burn the CD and boot. It will probably find it. That's what I did to get Gentoo installed. Once I was up in Knoppix I scp'd the stage 1 tarball to the PIII. > Dear Gentoo users, > > I'm trying to install gentoo on my server. > I've got a Promise Fastrack TX100 raid controller. > > When I do 'modprobe ataraid' I don't get any error messages.
