Ok, this is even stranger.
I installed a STOCK fc3 system. Same issue.
STOCK fc2 system. Same issue.
Something inherent to Fedora Core is just plain incompatible with this
motherboard.
It's not just a 2.6.11 or 2.6.9 kernel that's at fault.
Anyone have any ideas as to how, why, or what I can try to make this work?
If not, I'm going to be forced to leave Redhat entirely and go with
another distribution, something I really do not want to do - all my
system configurations are tailored for Fedora.
