To follow up, he was attempting to boot the Gentoo 2008.0 livecd,
which lacked support for this hardware.

Blackb|rd (in #gentoo-alpha on Freenode) is creating him a new ISO,
which should remedy the situation.

O-Zone should have replied to his own topic when the problem was
identified and a solution put in place.

Hardware is OK, because with the installed HP-UX all works well.

You may want to look at this article re the Adaptec raid controller and

Yes, i've already read that ut is not so useful. Problems seems that
Adaptec SmartRAID V Controller is based under i2o. I've tried with i2o
modules without success, as you can see there:

[dmesg]
....
I2O subsystem v1.325
i2o: max drivers = 8
i2o: Checking for PCI I2O controllers...
iop0: controller found (0001:02:04.0)

Yes, i've tried the ISO by Blackbird with i2o support but we don't
resolve the problem. Seems that DPT support for alpha (64bit) is not
available...
