I'm working on this over the weekend too. I have a Syntax S635MP motherboard with a VIA 
Samuel 2 800Mhz. All file systems are raid 1 between two 80GB drives (hda/hdc) no other 
ide devices. And no other cards.

I can install FC2 with the above instructions, and update the kernel - no problem. but 
the system locks up within an hour of running. I've compiled my own kernel (v2.6.6-mm5) 
and still the same effect.

The Error message I get is:
Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00000246 00000073 080a9649
Unknown interrupt or fault at EIP 00000297 00000073 080a5ad3
FYI: X is not running, in fact nothing but cron/sshd/mdadm/init/getty are running when 
this happens.

I've installed Red Hat v9 - no problems, and now I'm installing FC1. I think it is the 
2.6.6-mm5 kernel

Anyone else running FC2 with a VIA Samuel 2?
