I gave up and went with a different motherboard, a Abit Fatal1ty AN9 32X, as I've exhausted all options on the KN9 SLI. There is some chance that the Abit KN9 SLI is a badly designed board, and that nothing can be done about it in the Linux kernel. I'll leave this bug open in case I'm wrong, and someone with more knowledge than I wants to investigate it further. See http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=158365&page=2&pp=15 for more details as to what I (bgoodr) tried there. See post 36 (http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forum/showpost.php?p=816758&postcount=36) on that thread for where I gave up on the KN9 SLI. bgoodr Fixing component and reassigning. An Update: note that I changed out the motherboard from a Abit KN9 SLI to a Fatal1ty AN9 32X but kept everything else the same. With that new setup, I succeeded in installing the FC7 x86_32 DVD. See the current Smolt profile with that new motherboard at http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/show?UUID=d5c71955-b2b6-4f61-823d-b9919a31c45f Reference my HCL report at: http://www.linuxquestions.org/hcl/showproduct.php?product=3881#review1 (pardon the malformed HTML in that post ... that forum has a bug in its enhanced WYSIWYG). bgoodr Hello, I'm reviewing this bug as part of the kernel bug triage project, an attempt to isolate current bugs in the fedora kernel. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage I am CC'ing myself to this bug. As you are now using alternate hardware it might be difficult to troubleshoot further therefore I am considering closing this bug as CANTFIX. If you are still able to test please could you try the latest version of Fedora 8, available from: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Distribution/Download as this would be a help in trying to fix this in time for the next release. Cheers Chris Hi Chris, I would be happy to do that, but unfortunately I do not have access to that motherboard anymore. I suspect that motherboard's design or BIOS to be broken. I suspect your project is not funded enough to purchase that specific brand of motherboard to retest. If that is the case, you have really no choice but to close this ticket. Hopefully it will show up in web searches to ward people away from it. bgoodr Hi Brent, You're right about the funding. I'm sorry it took a while to getting around to this. I will close as CANTFIX then but thanks for lodging the bug anyway - good move on adding the HCL entry, I will note this for future reference. The bug you mentioned at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=239585 might even be the resolution you were looking for... Cheers Chris |
