Whenever I try to boot the installer for 8.0 or 9, my system takes a hard hang. I finally tracked it down to the insmod/modprobe on the parport_pc module. I tried doing that on my curent system (RH 7.1) and the same thing happens. Here's the thing: I have the parallel port disabled in the BIOS because I don't use it, so I wouldn't really expect the low-level driver to be able to do much with it. However, it's not nice that it hangs the system and I'm wondering if there's a problem with my motherboard or in the parport_pc driver. And does anybody have any suggestions on how to determine this? I tried enabling the parallel port in the BIOS using 0x378 and irq 7 which I believe are the defaults, but the installer still hangs on the insmod. Is there a way to tell the installer to not load the parport drivers? Or to give arguments to it? It didn't hang my current system when I tried doing an insmod io=0x378 irq=none. My motherboard is Tyan S2567U3AN Thunder HE-SL ServerWorks chipset. -- C.
