I am having all kinds of problems installing FC4 on a Dell Optiplex

The controller is the on board Intel SATA controller. I know the hardware
works fine because I can install FC3 on the Dell and it works as long as the
BIOS is configured for combined mode. If I do a yum update, the latest FC3
kernel fails to boot.

Does anyone know how to install FC4 on these boxes. I suspect the latest
2.6.15 works as reported in http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~ushankar/linux-dell.html
. Does anyone know how to replace the kernel on the FC4 CDs to get these
systems to install properly?

Hi Bruce!

Perhaps there are other options (see link):

Does sound like an HW problem. Sounds like rebuilding the Kernel you have
may be a good option.

Have fun!
