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).

But if you are pretty comfortable with Gentoo already, and have |

another Gentoo system to work with, you can try using catalyst to roll |
