I have quite a list of them that FC5 needed to boot with, on an HP-dv5120us lappy. Like: kernel (version) noacpi noapic pci=assign-busses lapic Will these still be required for F7? Its an AMD 64, running i386 stuffs. Thanks. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
