When the kernel says your disk is hd*, then it is a PATA disk. When it says it's sd*, it could be pretty much everything: PATA (with new libata driver), SATA, SCSI, USB,... So I would guess that the LiveCD uses the new libata, while you're using the old driver. Make sure you compile in the needed PATA drivers for your chipset (maybe CONFIG_SATA_AHCI works). What does lspci report? Bye...

You might want to try all (h|s)da3 combinations... Because the LiveCD uses the new driver for PATA disks, which is makes them look like SCSI disks, as is true for SATA. Bye...

Not tested: Boot a Gentoo LiveCD, create a coreutils binary package with quickpkg, mount your root fs, set ROOT environment variable to that mount point, install the binary package into your system. If the last step fails, you could also just unpack the package with tar, but that wouldn't give you any package information. BTW, what does the name _core_ utils tell you? *SCNR* Bye...

I tried it in my zsh, with TAB-completion (means: I typed "scp remote_host:~/Fil"), and it gives this: scp remote_host:~/File\\\ with\\\ blanks And, of course, it copies the file just fine :-) HTH...
