Re: F7 locking up on first boot

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



FWIW (not much I'm afraid) I had a similar problem with F7 on an ASUS
mb with an ,er,unusual drive configuration (2 additional PIDE
controllers in addition to the one on the motherboard, everything
full). I couldn't solve it and reverted to FC5 on that box (6 is a
disaster here, although I understand others have no trouble with it).
Here's the really strange part - a different box, exact same MB,
controller, and drive configuration, F7 installed painlessly.  I
dunno.
