Hi.. i'm a newbie ..tried to install FC4 today.. did'nt happen
.When installed from a DVD..i get the following message:
Loading SCSI drivers
Loading-sata sil driver... Disabling IRQ #11..
and then the installation just hangs... with a blue background..
Could anyone help me>
my config is as follows:
AMD 64 3000+ Socket 939
MSI motherboard with ATI radeon 9200 on board graphics
Nvidia xfx6200 PCIe 128 mb
512 mb ddr ram
samsung 120 gb SATA hard drive
incidentally i tried KNoPPIX and it seemd to work fine

i tried installing it with linux noprobe and i get a message... no devices found, please select manually...
i do so only to be told that there are no device drivers for the hard drive...and a list of about 50 device drivers...
anyways i select one of them... and the installation starts.. with the appearance of the FEDORA CORE 4 screen and language selection et al
however... when it comes to partioning by disc drives..either manually or automatically.. the msg ... 'No drives.. An error has occured.No valid devices were found on which to create a new file system.Please check your hardware'
what do i do now

help me out here guys!! i'm stuck .. ican;t seem to get fedora core4 working..
it was suggested to turn off acpi in my bios setting.. well it worked.. only to show an error message while partioning../
is it because FC4 that i have is not compatible with 64 bit..?
Incidentally i have the same problem with other distros also
