I was give a system with a D875PBZ Intel MB in it, it is a 2.8G system. I am trying to get Fedora on it but either get a kernel panic or failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x40). I have googled and found a few ides, none have helped. I've: - updated the BIOS - set irqpoll - tried disabling the Intel SATA raid controller - .... If I take my IDE drive out of the old system and only run IDE on the new system it boots and seems to work great. If I try to reinstall - as a test to see if there is a problem with just SATA - I get the same error - failed to set .... My head hurts from all the banging and trying different options, this list is my last hope before I talk my self into purchasing a PCI SATA RAID controller. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. -- Jamie Bohr
