This is still a problem in FC6 test 3. Booting with noapic works. The bug has
been reported on bugzilla.kernel.org.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6975

A solution has also been proposed, and it does fix the problem, but I'm not sure
if it breaks anything.

There are several bugzillas open for this bug too - 201529, 205090 (and probably
others)

Make sure you have latest BIOS
I have an ASUS M2N-E board and this is in the faq for the motherboard at
support.asus.com
----------------------------------------------
I got Linux installation failure on M2N-E. How can I fix this problem?

Answer
Please update BIOS to 0302 or later.
0301 can fix certain DualCore CPU failed to install on Linux problem.
0302 can fix Fedora Core 5 installation failure problem.
-----------------------------------------------

there may be a similar issue with your M2NPV-VM.

Comment 3 Jim Mollmann 2006-09-22 01:05:02 UTC

Problem is seen with BIOS 0303

Comment 4 David Mitchell 2006-09-24 19:05:36 UTC

I was able to get the installation to work using noapic and acpic=off, but 
once I installed FC6-test3 to my SATA hard drives (using software RAID-5), I 
get a kernel panic with the error "cannot open root device".  So, FC6-test3  
fails to boot using SATA drives with software RAID under the latest BIOS, 
namely, M2NPV-VM Release BIOS 0405.

Below are my kernel parameters:
module /vmlinuz-2.6.17-1.2630.fc6xen ro root=/dev/md1 noapic acpi=off rhgb

Comment 5 Jim Mollmann 2007-04-08 23:39:43 UTC

Finally got FC6 to install after ugrading the BIOS to 0502(?).
