I'm getting kernel panics on a new install 3.0.4 kernel. I'm trying to get the proper setup right but I don't know what to do so far on this. Here's a pastebin on the .config

What kind of HDD, for PATA you should enable

CONFIG_PATA_AMD

Well, do you boot from IDE? If this is the case you miss CONFIG_PATA_AMD built into kernel.

Otherwise, please let us know what exactly is your setup and what's the error message.

I boot from the first Sata drive on the system. The error, which is a kernel panic and doesn't let me really see it due to the length, starts reading off all the sata drives then saying unable to sync VFS. Cannot boot from unknown block (8,19). I added the AMD Pata driver built into the kernel. It didn't help. I have Nvidia Sata built in.

(8,19) would be sdb3 ... is this the partition you are trying to boot? This error you are getting implies either you've specified wrong partition for root or kernel has no support built in for root partition filesystem.

Root is ext3.

Grub.conf specifics
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-3.0.4-gentoo root=/dev/sdb3

Livecd makes the first sata drive /dev/sdb and the ide drive as /dev/sda fstab is all setup with uuids for drives so I can know what I'm loking at.

Have you tried booting sda3 instead of sdb? Normally, the drive that is set to boot in BIOS becomes sda.

I haven't yet, I'll give it a go now and see what I get.

Edit, did as recommended... it worked... makes me wonder if I could set root in grub with the uuid instead

It's possible if you use an initrd image to run the userspace programs needed to make the UUID/LABEL links in /dev to the actual devices node files.
