Hi,

I'm trying to install gentoo on a Dell Dimension C521, which has an
AMD Sempron 3400+ CPU.

I downloaded and buned the AMD64 2006.1 minimal install disk, but when I try
to boot from the CD it hangs, the last message being:

io scheduler deadline registered (default)

May be this? - http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-505165.html

Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately I don't think that is the
problem - lspci reports this:

00:0e.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller (rev a1)
00:0f.0 IDE interface: nVidia Corporation MCP51 Serial ATA Controller(rev a1)

Thanks,

Roger

I had the exact same issue last month with some new hardware, booting with noacpi or noapci (can't really remember) did the trick... Once I was installed and had a 2.6.20 kernel, I had no other issues.
