From a few things I read, it might be possible to get it to work with 2.6.17, but only if the SATA controller is put in something like "compatibility mode" (as opposed to AHCI mode) in the BIOS. I haven't checked this.

 ==== X11 ====
@@ Line 66: / Line 103: @@
 DRI now works (but maybe not 100%). I had to disable drm in the kernel completetly. Then I rebuilt x11-drm (version 20060608). There were still problems because the drm.ko module wasn't copied to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/x11-drm along with the others (eg. i810.ko, i915.ko). To quickly fix it, I re-emerged x11-drm, froze the build process with Ctrl-s after drm.ko was done building, and copied that module to its proper place, then I let the build process resume with Ctrl-q.
     * for DRI to work, **both** agpgart and intel-agp have to be loaded.
