I have an Asus K8N-VM with an Athlon64 3200+, running in 32-bit mode (had too many problems with 64-bit FC4 on two other Athlon64 systems - one Nvidia-based, the other ATI-based). I'm running FC5 test, and ran into a problem after a kernel upgrade. (from 2.6.15-1996 to 2.6.15-2041 - hangup also happened with build 2032) The SATA controller would timeout during the boot phase - not at first, but during service startup (the service which stopped was never the same - sometimes postfix, sometimes spamd, sometimes something else). I finally did a compare of kernel messages from a 1996 bootup vs a 2041 bootup, and saw the difference was that 2041 enabled APIC by default, while 1996 didn't. I added "noapic" to the appropriate line in grub.conf, and now the system runs fine in 2041. I don't really need any help with this now that the system is working on the newer kernel, but thought the powers-that-be might mention this in some note. Yes, the install notes might mention disabling APIC, but I think a reasonable user might assume that if the initial kernel ran just fine "out of the box", then minor kernel upgrades would work, too.
