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: * switch between ahci and ide * switch between legacy and advanced (native) mode * boot with "gentoo apic=off" Nothing worked. 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?
Does your MB have a JMicron [SP]ATA controller, by any chance? If so, try booting with "all-generic-ide irqpoll". If not, please post more details :)
