Dear users,

I want to install install gentoo from the minimal cd on the following system

core 2 duo 6400
asus p5b
2048 ram
ati radeon x1900xt
hdd 250 gb sata

I tried to do it as normally but it says that it doesn t find any bootable medium

i think that there is a problem with my motherboard because i had this problem with my installation of suse once.

Does anybody have an idea how i can get over this problem?

restart your computer
enter bios [ i believe py pressing del right after you restart ]
change the boot device sequence.

There are a number of threads on this problem:
Experimental & final release (GentooCD with JMicron-supp.)

Intel Core 2 system woes (JMicron, JMB363 and other...)

Roundup: Kernel with JMicron support (JMB363, 361, 360, 36x)

New Dual Core build

amd64-release of "small gentoo", liveCD with JMicron-support

The kernel on the LiveCD/Minimal Install CD doesn't have support for the JMicron IDE controller.
