As far as I know it can't be worked around. I ran into the same
problem with my new Core 2 Duo system. I opened
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201977 and it
was closed as rawhide. kernel-2.6.17-1.2543.fc6 works for me. I am
currently running FC5 on mine for working Nvidia binary drivers. Xorg
7.1 in FC6 isn't properly compatible with the ATI or Nvidia binary
drivers.
I still have serious problems though. The onboard Jmircon JMB363
sata/pata controller is disabled on boot. Hence I had to go out and
get a sata optical drive. My dual onboard gigabit r8168 network cards
don't work either. I found a set of patches for 2.6.18rc2, which is
older than the latest development kernel,
http://www.fr.zoreil.com/linux/kernel/2.6.x/2.6.18-rc2/r8169/ They
don't seem to have been merged with the main tree. There is also a
driver from Realtek, from what I have read, but it's quality is
questionable.
Thanks, that helps a ton. I disabled the Jmicron controller and
booted FC5 (cd disc 1) of my trusty Sony USB CD. This was successful.
I may just go get a PATA->SATA converter to hook up the DVD burner to
one of the ICH8 ports, rather than the JMicron PATA port.
If I get a chance, I'll try this approach with the FC6-t2 DVD install.
I have some PATA to SATA converters and they are hard drive only. I
forgot that and tried one with my PATA drive, and of course it didn't work.
I found the Abit AB9 Pro didn't reliable recognize hard drives on
reboot. So I bought a Asus P5B Deluxe, revision 1.03G, and plan on
returning the AB9 Pro. The P5B has the ICH8 controller and Jmicron
controller. Because they are the same I didn't have to reinstall
Windows. It lacks the Silicon Image controller of the AB9 Pro, but my
case is maxed out already using the six ICH8 ports. The P5B does seem to
reliable recognize the drives, though sometimes it is slow about it.
The P5B has two different Marvell network cards instead of the Realtek
8168 cards of the AB9 Pro. The first Marvell is a 88E8001. It works
with the skge driver. The second is a 88E8056, which isn't recongized. I
suspect it should work with the sky2 driver, but the driver lacks the
pci ids. It could also be the skge driver though.
The hardware is still mostly unrecognized by lspci.
