[mythtv-users] Serial ATA and Gentoo

[Curtis Stanford]

I didn't need to use any special drivers. Just vanilla-kernel 2.4.22. I did 
have to plug my CD into the secondary IDE port because in legacy mode the 
SATA ports replace the primary IDE port. Then it just comes up as /dev/cdrom 
as usual (which obviously is a link to the proper IDE device).
