Hi,
I am having trouble installing Fedora on a system with a brand new MSI
RX480 Neo2 motherboard and an athlon 64. The remaining hardware is a
generic 80GB ide drive and two sata drives. Video is an ancient PCI
card, diamond stealth I think.
The CD boots ok and I select "linux text" to proceed. Installation
proceeds normally right up to what I think says something like "making
kernel readonly" and the screen fills with what looks like:
[ mem address ] function name - codes
It may be a panic, I can't tell because the system is frozen and I have
no way to capture or scroll back the info. Function names are like:
fd_install, run_init_process, trace_hardirqs_on_thunk, spin_unlock. My
intuition tells me this may be irq related. I tried booting with
acpi=off and pci=biosirq as recommended on freenode#fedora but this did
not help. I think I've also exhausted all my bios options too. At
first I tried FC4 i386 but it was suggested that I try an i386_64 build
and I tried FC6 test3 but the results were essentially identical.
So my question is, what else could I try, and how can I capture
additional error information while the installer tries to boot?
Thanks,
Gary H.
