Hi,

I'm trying to install AMD64 version of GENTOO and fdisk cannot find
/dev/hda.
The dmesg command show that /dev/hda does exist, but neither fdisk nor ls
can see it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

G.

Release some more specs of your system - are you sure you're installing
Gentoo on an IDE-Disk? Maybe it's an SATA-Device, that'd be /dev/sda
then. Or maybe the IDE-Controller the disk is attached to lacks
Linux-support.

Provide us with more infos, and we provide you with solutions

Just wondering-- do you want help or do you just want to complain?
In the former case as Johannes says, information is needed.
You say the booting message says you have an ATA drive. What is that
message? What do you mean /dev/hda exists? As a file? That is probably
irrelevant. What is the relevant content of dmesg?

You admit you do not know what is going on. Why do you feel that you are
then able to interpret the messages?

hda is the first drive on the first ide controller (the master) Do you have
a master drive on the first ide controller? What error messages do you get?

Have a look for your laptop model at

I hit the same problem recently; whatever the problem was, it was with
creating the link/device node -- running "mknod /dev/hda b 3 0" fixed the
problem, and after running fdisk, the devices for /dev/hda1 ... hda7 were
all populated properly.

Thanks all.
I've got it working.
Somehow the 2004.2 release does not like my system (HP laptop with AMD64
Operion), I switched back to 2004.1 release and everything worked out just
fine.
