I think you will have to add the pci parameter in your startup file. On 
my system it is in /boot/grub/grub.conf. It is probably somewhere else 
for someone without dual boot. I have booted with the CD (and pci 
parameter) in rescue mode and modified the file. It was working alright 
after that. I am really new to linux so i maybe not clear enough.


Good luck!
