Why don't you use 2006.0? This just in. Someone on the forum was kind enough to point out that my mother board supports 8 SATA drives through two chips and that gentoo is probably only seeing the first four. Naturally, as it happens, I had the first drive connected in the first set of four and the other drives in the second set of four so this makes perfect sense. I don't have time to open the machine and switch everything at the moment, I will do that when I get home from work, but it is safe to say this is not a bug per se (although it would certainly make gentoo more friendly if such support for 8-SATA drive systems were added). Thank you for your time, sorry for the hassle, and I look forward to seeing gentoo in all its glory very soon! |
