Anyone know why FC3 is not working on an Intel 440GX anymore? FC1 did not work, yet FC2 did (and PERFECTLY); yet FC3 is doing the same thing FC1 did..
Detects the AIC 7xxx SCSI drives, then hangs... Basically states "no hard drives found"; when FC2 is actually on the drives.
lspci shows:

*sigh*, first guess -- acpi regression. how does it fare with acpi=off ?

Thank you for the suggestion, but it did the same thing. I got to the screen that states 'No hard drives found, please manually add......'
Thanks again.

Alex, did you ever resolve this? I have a 440GX system (Dell PowerEdge 2300) which is not running raid, but AIC 7XXX only. It does boot fine in FC3, except the newest kernels. Although I haven't actually tried the "acpi=off" thing quite yet.

Peter,
I had to use the archive to find out to which original posting your are replying. It would be good to mention the reference in the beginning line. Anyway, you are answering to a posting from November 13th 2004!

What's the reason for replying to such old list mails? Just wondering.

Quote from http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc1/#AlanCox:
o System hangs reporting SCSI timeouts or at the IDE probe and "ide=nodma" does not help.
If this is an Intel 440GX board, await errata news
For other SMP boards please try "noapic"
You may also need to set the BIOS MP to "MP 1.1" if you can

Alexander--I do realize I was responding to a message from November of last year. I did not think that would be an issue--I apologize. I was also already aware of the 440GX problem which Alan Cox mentioned, but that was for Fedora Core 1. Besides, the problem I am having is similar to what you were experiencing under Fedora Core 3. So, have you worked around it or are you on different hardware and/or software now? My system is an acpi system and not apm, so acpi is working correctly. I think I'm going to have to take this issue to the devel list as I think it is a bit low-level. Any details?
Thanks, Peter

Nothing to apologize for! It was no complaint and can't. I meanwhile see the reason to ask quoting that old list posting.

While the FAQ entry was published when FC1 was current it may help with current Fedora / Linux kernel 2.6 too. And it is "noapic" - APIC != ACPI.
