I also have two SCSI drives connected to an Advansys controller but they are nowhere to be found. I know I was required to load a driver when installing Fedora Core 3. I suspect I have to do something similar here but have no clue where to begin. Google hasn't turned up anything so I made a plea to the gentoo-users list. I'm anxiously awaiting someone to take pity on me. :)
I take it you are trying to install your system to one of the SCSI drives? If you're not, just go ahead and install everything to the IDE drive and when you get to the part of compiling your kernel just make sure you build in the driver. It looks like that particular driver isn't loaded by default.
You'll have to change the code maturity option so that you'll be able to find the driver in the SCSI low level menu of your kenerl configure. The fact that it's a new driver is probably why it's not loading for you by default.
Your best bet is to install to your IDE drive, and if you'd like your SCSI drive to be your boot drive just build the correct kernel drvier and move your data over once your system is running. Don't forget to change your fstab though before rebooting on the SCSI drive.
I found instructions for booting from Knoppix and installing that way. Ironically, Knoppix sees the Advansys controller but not the PATA connector on the Promise card. But no matter because I want to use the IDE drive only as storage for recorded shows. Thus I'm sure it will either "just work" once I get Gentoo built or I will be able to make it work.
Thanks for all your help and suggestions!
