Additional info:
FC7test1 already caused problems with NFORCE2 chipsets but you could tell to use
the AMD driver aand it worked.  In FC7test2 it is much worse, it doesn't work at
all.  Also I have noticed that the sata_nv module is loaded but it doesn't seem
to support nforce2
Comment 1 Jean Francois Martinez 2007-03-09 20:47:49 UTC 
Of course it doesn't work with sata_nv, this is for sata and my disks are pata.
 The driver to use is pata_amd (nforce and nforce2 chipsets are derived from
achipset made by amd) but anaconda sees nvidia and without thinking it twice
assigns the only driver it knows about.
