ARGH!!!! I can't believe I've waisted two days on this one... I think I tried "noacpi", but maybe it doesn't work and "acpi=off" does? Anyway, that was it. I suppose the FC3 kernels don't have ACPI enabled by default, which would then explain. Don't you just hate it when these kind of things happen... and I thought only laptops had broken ACPI implementations :-( Matthias Sadda Teh wrote : > Try booting with acpi=off > > The Asus nforce 4 boards (at least the one I have, A8N-VM) have a broken > ACPI implementation, and when booted with acpi enabled (the default), causes > problems with other hardware in the system.
