Thanks, Mike.

 

I have tried both "linux noapic" and "linux apic" with no luck... :)

Try passing "linux noapic" to the boot prompt.

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.
