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?
Just guessing based on the last two years of releases...probably not. But if you are pretty comfortable with Gentoo already, and have another Gentoo system to work with, you can try using catalyst to roll your own release CD with whatever kernel you want. http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/releng/catalyst/ HTH, -Richard -- [email protected] mailing list
