I just got a ultrasparc10 (333mhz, 384mb ram), and I'm trying to install gentoo on it. Booting the CD is working fine, but the problem is that the system can´t find the harddrive. Anyone got an idea why?

--- from dmesg ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Uniform Multi-Platform E-IDE driver Revision: 7.00alpha2
ide: Assuming 33MHz system bus speed for PIO modes; override with idebus=xx
CMD646: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:01:03.0

Fredrik Svensson,

That looks ok - until it fails to find the drive.

Is it really there, set to master and connected properly ?
Its possible to reverse the IDE data cable at one end. It doesn't do any permanent damage but it won't work either.

The disk seem to be broken, I tried it in my x86 machine and it didn't find it in BIOS.
