Do you have a pcmcia card in? If so, does removing it help?
No, there is no pcmcia card, however, the laptop does have an internal wifi card (orinoco type, at least it works with that driver) which uses pcmcia (it needs cardmgr), shutting it down does not solve the problem unfortunately.
the wifi card is onboard, so can not be removed
Does booting with 'linux nopcmcia' work then?
Well, it works, as in, I tried it and was able to install fedora. However, after the first reboot, it immediately hangs when it tries to configure pcmcia. Trying to boot it without pcmcia doesn't help, because it then hangs trying to configure an unidentified device, which I guess is my wifi card. It says (right after enabling the swap space): PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:0c.0 (0000 -> 0002) ACPI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0000:02:0c.0 - using IRQ255 PCI: Enabling device 0000:02:0d.0 (0000 -> 0002) ACPI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device 0000:02:0d.0 - using IRQ255
I have the same problem with a Dell Inspiron 4000 with 128mb.
Please report if acpi=off or later test kernels fixed this
Fedora Core 2 has now reached end of life, and no further updates will be provided by Red Hat. The Fedora legacy project will be producing further kernel updates for security problems only. If this bug has not been fixed in the latest Fedora Core 2 update kernel, please try to reproduce it under Fedora Core 3, and reopen if necessary, changing the product version accordingly. Thank you.
