kernel-2.6.11-gentoo-r8 is located on /boot whis /dev/sda1. Which would be (hd1,0) for the second Hard drive the first partition. I don't think the problem is with grub because it will boot just can't find the root partition. which should be /dev/sda3. For some reason I don't think the kernel is loading the right drivers for the SATA controller. The LiveCD uses Intel PiiX. which I compiled into the kernel. I've found several google groups refering to this problem as of yet I haven't found anything on SATA drives, it's been all scsi, I'm using SATA not SCSI I
