Sorry I originally assigned this to i18... I pressed i looking for "install" and it must have select i18. Then when I didn't find install, I assumed no component was selected. I just re-assigned it to general. Sorry. The problem is worse with f8 than it was with f8t3. The workaround of adding irqpoll no longer helps. This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. As far as this bug was concerned, Fedora 8 was never maintained. This kind of attention to bug reports doesn't give one much motivation to try test releases and file bug reports. I'm not sure if this bug still exists because I changed BIOS options as a workaround. The fact that Fedora developers didn't respond to this bug that prevented Fedora installation on the only consumer desktop shipped by any major manufacturer is a testament to why Dell ships Ubuntu. I'm still a Fedora user and will start testing F11 today, but this is the last time if my bug reports receive similar attention. |
