MSI K8N Neo nForce3-250 kernel problems

[Marcos A. Mondragon]

Hello,

I've been have problems getting a working kernel with this motherboard. 
I initially install FC2 x86_64 without a problem and I tried to install
FC3 test1 but there were problems with the test1 isolinux that were
addressed by Jeremy Katz (Bugzilla # 130557).  I then used yum to update
my packages to FC3 test1 via the development channel but I haven't been
able to boot a kernel later than 2.6.6-1.435.2.3 (which I kept around
from FC2).  I've entered it into Bugzilla (# 130558) but I was curious
if anyone on the list has been able to use this motherboard with FC3
test1.  I've looked around and tried some of the generic x86_64
suggestions (acpi=off) without any luck and I have a segment of my
serial console dump that I'm including.  I can e-mail the full log if
anyone is interested.

Thanks,
