Moving drives to 3ware

[GreenCorduroy]

I recently upgraded my machine with 3ware 7540 card. In doing so, I moved a drive that had an exisiting gentoo install onto the card. Now I can't seem to boot off the drive nor see the partitions.
I tried booting from the installation CD, and it automatically detects the 3ware card and the drives on it, but for some reason it doesn't recognize the partitions on the drive. If I do a listing of the harddrives and parititions listed in the /dev, I only get results like hda, hdb and no hda1, hda5, etc.
I am positive that these drives have parititions on them since when I'm in Windows, it sees everything fine.
Do I need to do something special to get the partitions to be seeable? I tried looking for any modules on the CD that may even be related to the 3ware card but it doesn't look like there are any.

Thanks in advance

Hi!

I´m not really sure, because I never tried to put an drive connected first
to the ide port and the to the 3ware, and I´m not sure if the 7450 is the same
as the 7850 we use.

Every IDE drive which is not put an Raid, is exported as
scsi drive (yes here the contr. is only a ide to scsi converter)
to the system, when you put the drive in an raid (0,1 or
doesn´t matter) all the former data should be lost because the controller
starts immediatly to write control information on it. But if you
don´t put it in an raid you could try to mount the >>scsi disk<<.
First you should check which

I guess that was the trick. I'm successfully able to mount the drives and change parameters to get Gentoo to boot of the drive again.

Also I realized that the hda and hdb that were being listed were the cdrom drives connected to the normal IDE interface.

Thanks
