Hum, I have the same mobo as you, and also can't boot on FC3...
actually the system can't boot on any kernel later than 2.6.5...
I get an error message regarding powernowk8, during the kernel
initialization, and, when trying to start X ("the graphical/window
system"), the screen locks up displaying a weird picture that
resembles my wallpaper, locking up the system, but the mouse still
works...
After watching closely, I've found that I get the same 'powernow-k8 failed' as you do.
the video setup but still continued. Now on boot the system runs up to 'starting the HAL Daemon' which gets a green 'OK'. Then the screen blacks out and, after a few seconds, returns but is locked up. The mouse pointer moves, but nothing else responds.
I removed 'rhgb quiet' and was able to boot to the command line, but I'm
a relative Linux newbie and don't know what to do to continue.
Can you list your BIOS confirgurations (are you running with Cool and
Quiet enabled?? ACPI 2.0??)?? Maybe this could help me...
BIOS: AMIBIOS Version: 08.00.09 Build Date: 09/15/04 ID: A0036001
AMD Cool & Quiet is enabled (although I get the same response with it enabled)
ACPI 2.0 Support: [No] ACPI APIC Support: [Enabled]
If I need to post other BIOS data, I'll be glad to. Please let me know which parts.....
Have you checked the system logs?? Take a look at the
/var/log/messages file and also the X.org log, under
/var/log/Xorg.0.log; the error might by listed in there...

I get errors ([hsync out of range] and [bad mode clock/interface/doublescan]) on every screen resolution tested
Not sure what any of this means, though.
Any ideas?
