We are experiencing the same problem here. Tyan S2882 motherboard 2 x Opteron 244 4 gigs of ram Adaptec 2120S 64 bit card. 4 x 74 gig 15k SCSI drives setup in a RAID10. Soon as we attempt to go into Disk Druid -- we get a blue screen with gibberish on it.
We are seing the same problem here with Tyan S2882. At first we though it was a problem with the jumpers on the motherboard. It comes by default configured to run in PCI-X Mode at 100Mhz. Our card is the "Adaptec Serial ATA RAID 21610SA" which is only PCI and should run at 66Mhz. After adjusting jumpers on the motherboard, we found the same crashing behaviour. We were able to install FC2 just fine from DVD (kickstart would crash too). Then we used a gentoo cd to boot, chroot into the FC2 install and updated the kernel to the latest. With the latest smp kernel (2.6.8-1.521.x86_64), the machine will start "init" just fine, but then right after mounting swap it will hang saying it had problems with the / filesystem. We then tested a gentoo install to rule out a Hardware problem. It worked fine. Last test was FC3 test 3 and everything works perfectly. Diego
Same problem here. System crashes with blue screen, and binary characters. Always occurs right after loading the aarcraid driver. I have not figured out a way around this issue... I have tried booting with noprobe, and selecting the aarcraid driver manually, only to encounter the same issue. System Config : Tyan S2881 Adaptec 2120S 4x 1G KVR 6x Seagate 146G 2x AMD 246
I found a possible solution. I am able to boot the installer in text mode by specifying 'linux mem=128m text'. However I can't get the OS to boot once I install. I am now using FC3, so this bug should be considered relevant to the current release.
FC3 hangs with : "PCI: Probing PCI hardware (bus 00)"
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.
