hi.. i discovered i'm having the same problem i thought i had already fixed. i'm trying to boot an intel 815 mobo with FC3. the FC3 install hangs midway through if the monitor is not plugged in. i've added various combinations of the following to the grub.conf file with no luck. grub.conf . . . . linux nofb noprobe skipddc (as the last line of the file) i still have the same issue i had before, in that the system hangs! i've seen some others via google who have the same/similar issue with no solution... any thoughts/ideas/etc...
