I pasted the output of lspci -n to http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/ and was told that the controller should be supported by the ahci driver PCI ID Works?

> if more information is required please tell me. Yes, I remember this conversation from #gentoo this weekend. Can you please try a more recent testing kernel, currently 3.6.6? First do `echo "sys-kernel/gentoo-sources" >> /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords` and then emerge gentoo-soures again, don't forget to change the symlink with eselect and copy your config over; for more detailed instructions see http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Upgrade http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Kernel/Configuration#Build if you don't want to do manual then you can continue with genkernel after copying the config. If it still occurs on 3.6.6, please provide: 1. `emerge --info` in a comment to this bug, as an attachment if it is too big. 2. /usr/src/linux/.config file as an attachment. 3. `dmesg` output as an attachment. Here is a relevant link found back in chat, for reference to other people: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-6489325.html

Created attachment 330656 [details] kernel config
I upgraded to kernel 3.6.6 now and still no device driver is found by the kernel. output of dmesg, emerge --info and .config is added.
Have you tried with CONFIG_SATA_AHCI_PLATFORM=y ?
Please try the above suggested configuration option and also try a newer kernel like 3.7.10 or 3.8.3, thank you.
