Try booting with 'gentoo-nofb acpi=on'.
If that doesn't help, press scroll lock when you see information about the
IDE disks on your PC and jot down the text. You're looking for something
like the following:
VP_IDE: IDE controller at PCI slot 0000:00:07.1
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:07.1, from 255 to 0
VP_IDE: chipset revision 16
VP_IDE: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later
VP_IDE: VIA vt82c686a (rev 22) IDE UDMA66 controller on pci0000:00:07.1
ide0: BM-DMA at 0xd000-0xd007, BIOS settings: hda:DMA, hdb:DMA
ide1: BM-DMA at 0xd008-0xd00f, BIOS settings: hdc:DMA, hdd:pio
Probing IDE interface ide0...
input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard as /class/input/input0
hda: LITE-ON COMBO SOHC-5232K, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive
hdb: JLMS XJ-HD166S, ATAPI CD/DVD-ROM drive

Re: Gentoo installation

Thanks, Daniel -
I did finally get it up and running by not selecting any additional
packages. One thing I didn't see during install was any way to specify
maximum screen resolution; maybe I just missed it. I find myself stuck
now with a maximum of 1024x768, when I really want 1280x1024. There
must be a way to change it post-install, but I don't know what that way is.
I've had my best success with Fedora; the installation is as painless as
I've seen, the most recent updates are readily available (unlike Ubuntu,
for example), and it has worked very well for me so far.
What is it about Gentoo that you appreciate over other Linux distros?

I recommend not using the graphical installer. Internet install is also
nearly necessary for Gentoo. It's really complicated to do it without
internet connection. Do you have a dial-up connection? You may want to
download all the packages in one rush and set up a little FTP server one
another computer. Then you could do "internet" install without being
connected to the actual internet...
My favourite distro had been Debian and I still think it's very good for
some purposes. It takes some time to install Gentoo the first time but
even my very first test convinced me.
Download the 2005 minimal install CD and read the installation handbook
first. Then follow it and install your system step after step by hand.
This way you'll be able decide about many things and you'll learn a lot
of stuff about your PC. Take your time and try Gentoo! Looking back I
say it was worth reading this long handbook and spending some time
installing it. It's nice:-)

Maximum flexibility, choice and ease of maintenance. The downside
to this is, instead of being given a button that says "install now",
you're given a manual and a command prompt.
This way suits some but not many. If you're not comfortable with manuals
and command prompts (and don't ever want to be) you should steer well
clear of Gentoo.
That said, don't get me wrong - a Gentoo installation is often painless,
just rarely the first time. For me, the payoff was more than worthy.
Hth,

Gentoo is not meant as a "no brainer" version of Linux.
Gentoo was made for those Linux users that do not mind working and learning
the operating system.
Capability to build from source the entire OS and applications.
Great package management.
If you were looking for a simple install, simple package management system
then we would have recommended some other disto.
