Peter,
It makes no difference whether hardrives are set to be RAID, IDE or
ACHI. I have installed from this DVD to another identical machine (with
RAID 1) step up without this difficulty.
If I try the two options you noted below, it still shuts down. If I
try a text install, the same. If I use 'linux noprobe' then there is no
way for me to get to the ide DVD play installed - the BIOS does see this
and reports is okay.
To rule out any problems with usb, I switched to a PS/2 keyboard and
unpluged the USB mouse.
It shutsdown if I try 'linux mediacheck'. etc.
I am stumpted. The BIOS version is identical to the other machine
which is running and I have tried reproducing the identical BIOS
settings without luck. For that reason I don't see any reason to try
and upgrade the BIOS.
I am stumped - - - and I have already wasted far too much time including
returning one motherboard because I thought it was defective.
Anyone have any other ideas. I will not be back to this till tomorrow
evening, and then I am on call both Friday and Sunday so they are shot.
Looks like this new server may never see the light of day.
Thanks again,
Bob

Hi all,
I am trying to install FC6 (the re-spin DVD) onto a new Intel DG965WH
motherboard with 2 GB DDR2 667 MHz memory and a 400 GB SATA HD. The
machine boots and the install starts but when it reaches OHCI1394 the
machine automagically reboots. This is an endless cycle. Does anyone
have any ideas? I have installed from this DVD previously so that is
probably not a problem.
I've the same motherboard in my desktop (though with DDR2-800 instead of
DDR2-667); and FC6 installed fine after I booted with the
"all-generic-ide pci=nommconfig" options. (I recently rebuilt this
install from F7Test3 and neither of these options are needed.)
Also, you'll need to have the Serial ATA access mode set to "AHCI" in
your bios.
Hope that helps.
