Hey all.
I'm trying to install FC 1 on a VA Linux system which has a L440GX+ motherboard and a SCSI card. At installation, the aic7xxx modules starts to load but the installation stops at this point.
I've tried every combinaison of "noprobe noacpi smp pci=biosirq" that I can think of but still can't make the install continue.
Is there anyway to make this work? Will FC2 be better in this respect?
Check the archives. This was discussed a month or two ago. Someone posted a link to a bootable iso image that used a newer kernel. What I did worked, but will take a lot longer. I updated all the firmware, then installed RedHat 9, and used yum to update to FC1. From an item in bugzilla I found:

The best "Non expert" way to update to Fedora 1 on such a box btw seems to be the following (a decent net connection helps but you do only need CD 1 for this 8))
Install RH9 (if not upgrading from it anyway) Install fedora-release and yum packages from CD#1 of FC1 yum update rpm rpm --rebuilddb yum update krb5-libs e2fsprogs yum update
