taking out the wireless card did not help, but i ran the installer with 'linux noprobe' and it worked. i had to specify the nvidia sata drivers, and it already recognized the onboard lan. however, after install(everything went fine), when i reboot, and it tries to initialize hardware, it gets to audio and hangs. are there any known problems with the onboard sound for this board?Peter Arremann wrote:
I just thought of something, what options do you have changed from defaults in the bios, specifically related to video card stuff. i think i tweaked a few things for performance, and think it might be a cause of my problem, since the hang is right before the graphical install stuff. i will try text install tomorrow to test this theory.On Saturday 26 February 2005 11:44, Scott Elliott wrote:
I have an MSI K8N Neo (FSR), with updated bios as of late december. DVD is a Sony, DRU530A, CDR/RW/DVD+R/RW/DVD-R/RW with latest firmware(to get 8x DVD+-R). I have an old Liteon 24x10x40 also. I have tried both the DVD and 4CD version of FC3,x86_64, even tried the CD version in both drives. I have tried with all combinaitons of the three mentioned kernel parameters, acpi=off, ide=nodma, and nocddma. In each time, it gets past the filesystem mouting fine, says its running install and then running /sbin/loader, at which point the cursor on a new line moves three spaces(like a please wait thing i think) then nothing. after a short time, all my drives spin down, and the fans slow to not even hearing them(no cpu usage sign). I have started downloading both the FC3,i386 DVD and the FC2,x86_64 DVD, but i dont want to waste the disc's if there is some other problem in the way. Oh, i have an ATI Radeon 9600 video card, SATA HDD(120G, winxp and a couple partitions, plus free space between system and data paritions), and a D-link Wireless card. Thanks for the help.

Ok, I know the board is fine - its the same as I do... I have a Radeon 7500 (I do 2D only anyway) so that shouldn't matter either... That leaves the sata drive (although many people have success with it) and the dlink card...
Honestly - I've no clue :-) But I would try without the dlink card... Just a guess but you never know unless you try...
