Gilboa,
Thanks for the advice -- I assume I can check the boot logs from a DVD boot
by switching to a second terminal the same way that I do to run lspci.
Also, during the boot, I see the message to by to the effect "BIOS fails
ACPI Cut-off date, use ACPI=Force to use ACPI"
I'll try this tonight or tomorrow and post again.

I am trying to install a clean version of FC6 on a PII 850 2 processor

On boot from the CD, Fedora does not detect anything on the PCI bus. It
fails to find the monitor and does not find the network card, etc.
Moving to an alternate terminal, I tried doing lspci -v and received no
output. I tried lspci -H 2 and it listed all of the PCI devices. So
somehow, this information is not making it to the kernel for use.
I have tried every combination of PCI setup on the bios: PNP OS = Y,
reset data=yes, etc.
It is an Tyan Tiger 133 V1.05, Award BIOS 6.00 PG, BIOS date 7/29/2000
(the latest one available from Tyan).
I tired booting off of the FC5 rescue disc and had the same problem. I
did not have the problem with FC4.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Check the kernel log, does it boot with acpi?
If so, try adding acpi=no to the kernel command line. (/etc/grub.conf)
