1 I got a core duo machine with an intel motherboard with the 965 chip set. There is a sata HD and ide DVD. The installation disk fails to boot since the jernel does not recognize the dvd. I tried the following bios configurations:
2 * switch between ahci and ide
3 * switch between legacy and advanced (native) mode
4 * boot with "gentoo apic=off"
5 Nothing worked.
6 If I understood right, only 2.6.18 kernel would fully support ICH8, and that the 965 chipset douse not support AC'97 sound. Is there a way to do a functional installation of gentoo on this system?
