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?
