It is not a issue with the "core duo" , it is a issue with the ide chipset
that the motherboard vendor added for ide.

For example there is a Intel motherboard the uses a different chipset than 
the jmicron and it works fine.

The only thing that I know to try is to use

  all-generic-ide 

at the install boot prompt.  And then again in the /etc/grub.conf .

This is what is needed for the Intel motherboard.
