Hi, I am having a strange problem with Core 1 on my no name laptop. Installation completed without a hitch, all devices where detected correctly. But when the machine rebooted Fedora refused to boot up and seemed to crash alternately when the firewire or PCMCIA was being probed/configured. I removed the "rhgb" from the entry in GRUB. This seemed to solve the problem as Fedora then booted. But now it refuses to boot and seems to be getting stuck when the PCMCIA devices are getting configured/probed. Sorry for my vague description but I am a typical MS newbie. Here are some details about the devices in the laptop gleaned from Microsoft. * PCMCIA controller: O2Micro OZ6933 CardBus * On board video - S3 Twister - shared memory * FireWire: Texas Instruments OHCO Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks, Jarrod
