I tried to install FC3 on a Dell GX110 (P3-900, i810 video), but when it
tried to boot the kernel (when installing from the cd) it gave a kernel
panic. It did the same thing under FC2, we got it to install by using the
ide=nodma switch. When we do that, the computer is a real dog, very
slow. I put Red Hat 9 back on it last night just for grins and it runs
perfectly, plenty fast.
Is there a way to make FC3 work properly without turning off the DMA? I
didn't have to do it with RH9, but with FC2 or FC3 I have to turn it off
and it's so slow it's unusable. Is there any way around this?
Thanks,
