Setting HD as IDE on motherboard, and boot livecd-livedvd from cdrom attached on ICH9R (sr0), everything goes good, but on installer the first HD will be show as sdb, because system will found a multicard reader USB and it will be show as sda. (there is also a little bug in the kernel, SCSI_MULTI_LUN not set, because the multicard reader is found only as sda and not sda,sdb,sdc,sdd)
OK, I changed the order in genkernel for the USB/Firewire and PATA/SATA/SCSI so that removable devices come second. I also added the SCSI_MULTI_LUN option to the kernel. The kernel change will show up in 2008.0 Beta 2, but the genkernel change didn't make it in time for the Beta 2 snapshot.
If you can post somewhere a micro boot or something similar i can try it
Nothing new in amd64 beta2.

What didn't you understand about "but the genkernel change didn't make it in time for the Beta 2 snapshot"? That means that we *know* nothing is going to change for beta2.
"but the genkernel change didn't make it in time for the Beta 2 snapshot" We weren't expecting it to work.

OK. This is resolved in genkernel 3.4.10, which is now in the tree and stable.
