do a normal installation. when building the kernel, build scsi support, scsi harddisk support and the aic7xxx or whichever adaptec driver is the correct one for you, into the kernel. your grub.conf line should look like this: title=2.6 root (hd0,0) kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda3 nmi_watchdog =1 (or sda2 or 5 or whereever root is) (because make install not only copies the files to /boot, it creates a vmlinuz symlink to the just installed kernel. And a vmlinuz.old symlink to the previous used one. Very comfortable.) -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
