When I boot the i386 ISO, the kernel boots to the point of probing the PCI bus and then hangs completely, even the keyboard is locked up. I've unplugged all the disks, so the only things in the system are the CD drive, the floppy drive, and the video card. I have turned off acpi at boot time, and when I boot the i386 ISO verbosely, the last few lines the kernel spews are: pci_open(1): mode 1 addr port (0x0cf8) is 0x8000c060 pci_open(1a): mode1res=0x80000000 (0x80000000) pci_cfgcheck: device 0 [class=060000] [hdr=80] is there (id=02821106) pcibios: BIOS version 2.10 pcib0: pcibus 0 on motherboard pci0: on pcib0 pci0: domain=0, physical bus=0 There's no PCI cards plugged in, just the AGP video card. When I try booting the AMD64 ISO, the boot loader runs, I get the boot menu, and regardless of what boot options I give the kernel, I get the message "CPU doesn't support long mode" and then I get the OK prompt. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a h/w problem, it'll boot and install Fedora 11, Win2K, WinXP, and runs every DOS based diagnostic app I can find with no problems. Anyone have any suggestions, or should I file a PR? Thanks! - ericr
