Subject: (no subject)Folks,
At the risk of asking a question you're all sick of hearing (though I have searched the fedora-list archives)...
During the install process my SMP system hangs when loading the aic7xxx driver -- after several hours it does move on, but just doesn't see drives.
This reminded me of the problem with RHL 7.x and 8.0, where you had to get a separate boot floppy image and boot with "linux noapic" or "linux apic" (I'm forgetting which)...
Is a similar solution available for Fedora Core 1, or is there something else I can do?
Thanks!
S.
