[gentoo-user] 2006.1 installation fails on intels 965 chipset based moderboard

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?

More details please. Which motherboard, what kind of harddisk, does
Knoppix boot? What's the output of lspci and so on ...

Not sure of all the outputs requested but knoppix has a really good hardware detection system 
Once up and running you could do the alternate install discribed in the docs.

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 :)
