The problem with the chipset is that the kernel loader does not recognize the dvd drive, whatever I played with the bios setup (AHCI <-> IDE, legacy <-> native modes).

of hardware that should be supported, and is very desirable. I'd like |

to get some of this hardware myself, probably before 2007.0, so I think |

maybe a 2006.1-r1 might be in order with a kernel bump to support this. |
