Description of problem: When installing FC7T2 on Inspiron 1501, hard drive is not found. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux version 2.6.20-1.2949.fc7 (brewbuilder.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20070222 (Red Hat 4.1.2-3)) #1 SMP Mon Feb 26 18:33:03 EST 2007 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to install FC7T2 Actual results: No hard drive is visible. Expected results: Hard drive present (as sda) Additional info: I find it odd that nobody has reported this. I have not just searched, but reviewed all kernel bugs in Rawhide. I'm going to attach dmesg. It contains some suspicious timeouts... I have no idea if the hard drive is. Vista works fine on this box, maybe I can ask it?

This appears to be an MSI issue. Booting with pci=nomsi fixes the problem.
we now default to msi off by default (users who want it can boot with pci=msi) It seems to cause more problems than its worth to have it on by default right now.
