From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Description of problem: I have a nforce2-board with a nvidia-AGP card and when i try to boot the installation DVD with 'linux' or 'linux text'or 'linux rescue' the system freezes very early, so i guess it's a kernel-problem. I tried several kernel-parameter like noprobe, pci=noapic etc. With the FC2 installed on that hardware i use acpi_skip_timer_override and pci=routeirq but none these parameters is of any help. Last lines on the console are: Initializing IPsec netlink socket NET: Registered protocol family 1 NET: Registered protocol family 17 Freeing unused kernel memory: 176 k freed input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0 I have a serial mouse and a ps/2 keyboard. I checked sha1sum of the ISO-image..... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert DVD 2. Boot 3. Freeze Actual Results: check Description Expected Results: Installation program (anaconda) shuold start Additional info:
