[gentoo-user] installation problem of finding cdrom on a i965 board

[wu yuntao]

As Intel pulled Ultra ATA out of the i965, they've got the JMircon
controller handling the Ultra ATA instead of requirement a SATA
optical drive. Here's the problem. It seems that Gentoo can't find the
Ultra ATA CD-ROM handled by the JMicron controller during the
installation, doesn't it? And how should i deal with it?

really bloddy idea, imho, to abandon p-ata so early...

If I were you, I'd go and buy some cheap old pci-raid/p-ata
board (highpoint, promise, etc, something known to linux,
you can get it for a couple of bucks) and I would attach
cd/dvd-drive there...

It looks like you might have some luck with the "all-generic-ide"
kernel option, or a >2.6.18-rc2 kernel, but I can't say for certain.

Is this from the Gentoo installation CD?
