Installed another motherboard (Asus p4P800SE) and this works fine IF I
set these options in the BIOS under IDE config:
Onboard PCI IDE Operate Mode [Enhanced Mode]
Enhanced Mode Support On [S-ATA]
Configure S-ATA as RAID [No]
Changing Enhanced Mode Support On [S-ATA] to Enhanced Mode Support On
[P-ATA+S-ATA] would give the same errors as in my first post.
Note that with the above BIOS settings, the BIOS does not recognize my
P-ATA IDE drive (strangely enough it does recognise the CDROM drive),
but the gentoo install does (so not a big deal really).

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
* Coldplugging PCI devices ...
