The system's processor is indeed core due. 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). If I understood you right I should find a distribution that boots on this machine (probably FC5), download stage3, proceed with the installation, and wait for an official 2.6.18-r? release to get a fully functional system? |

Can someone predict if the gentoo team would provide an installation CD with 2.6.18 before 2007.0? |

I think the regular livecd should work. The only thing that may be |
| 18 |
unsupported is the SATA controller, but even then it should fall back to |
| 19 |
IDE mode. |

Otherwise, you can boot on any other 64bit livecd and follow the |
| 22 |
instructions from the 2006.0 manual (you will need to download the stage |
| 23 |
tarball yourself). |
