pci=off problem

[Athanasios Velios]

Dear all,

I would be extremely grateful for a bit of advice for a beginner like me...

The installation of Fedora on my laptop crashed continuously, up to the
point I used the parameter pci=off. With pci=off, Fedora installed fine.
However, I can not
get it to start, now. When it boots, it freezes after loading the firewire
driver.
The last two lines before it freezes are:

Initializing firewire controller (ohci1394) [OK]
PCI: Enabling device 00:0c.0 (0000->0002)

Any ideas?

Thanks

Thanasis
