is your hdd a master?! this is very important. and yes, satas have master options too! not via jumper but via bios

i cant edit my Jumper Settings in BIOS :( and i dont know if its jumpered master BUT i think so because my DVD-Recorder is a ATA Drive. So theres no need for the HDD to be Slave

do you have a IDE or SATA?

@xisix

They aren't JUMPER settings... it depends on which SATA port you plug in to. SATA-0 is Master vs. SATA-1 being its slave... SATA-2 is another Master (on a separate controller), and SATA-3 is Slave. This isn't change-able in BIOS... this is a hard wire issue. where it is plugged in does matter.

Im also getting the still waiting for root device

On x2 3600
DFI Lanparty ultra2-m2 Nforce4
2Gb Adata DDRII 800
250GB ATA Maxtor Leopard
250GB SATA Seagate Gentoo linux

If anyone thinks its ata thats currently causing the problems let me know, i dont have the sata drive plugged in on boot or durring the install.

I can mirror my Gentoo install over to my ATA drive with out any problems (LVM is love ;) ) as always all help is appreciated

OK i feel noobish (im not) anyways i overlooked what drivers were installed so i selected the appropriate ones via the customize button. iI would imagine this is what some of us have done. Make sure you select the proper chipset drivers this would easily cause the os not to find the root device indicating it has no drivers for the ATA or SATA controller.
