<P><FONT size=2>Folks,</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>At the risk of asking a question you're all sick of hearing
(though I have searched the fedora-list archives)...</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>During the install process my SMP system hangs when loading
the aic7xxx driver -- after several hours it does move on, but just doesn't
see drives.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>This reminded me of the problem with RHL 7.x and 8.0, where
you had to get a separate boot floppy image and boot with "linux noapic" or
"linux apic" (I'm forgetting which)...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2>Is a similar solution available for Fedora Core 1, or is there
something else I can do?</FONT> </P>
<P><FONT size=2>Thanks!</FONT> <BR><FONT size=2>S.</FONT>
