I believe the chip is not supported in 1.4.2; the page refers to the
up-and-coming 1.5 release, I believe.  Try installing the 1.5BETA relase
(take a look around the i386 page).  1.5BETA is relatively stable at this
point, and is definitely worth a try.

Alternatively, you can install a snapshot (again, check the i386 page for
links, etc...).  The snapshots are relatively stable, but are the "latest
and greatest" so be prepared for some bumps.
