Description of problem: Intel motherboards Johannesburg and Montpelier hang on boot. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.18-82.el5 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot rhel52 beta nightly on above hardware 2. 3. Actual results: Hang during kernel Expected results: No hang Additional info: This was originally found in Global Desktop(GD). Prarit scoped it out and had a fix for it. GD team decided to add option to anaconda to fix it with the expectation that the next 5.1 kernel update would have the fix for this. Somewhere this got lost. I imagine that it should also be fixed for 5.1 since this hardware is certified on 5.1.
