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?

The only thing that may be unsupported is the SATA controller, but even then it should fall back to IDE mode. Otherwise, you can boot on any other 64bit livecd and follow the instructions from the 2006.0 manual (you will need to download the stage tarball yourself). -- Olivier Crête [EMAIL PROTECTED] Gentoo Developer -- [email protected] mailing list -- [email protected] mailing list
