I downloaded FC8 x86-64 last night (took all night on my Globe DSL here at home). Now I was gonna (joy!) install it on my PC....
and everything comes to a screeching halt. Apparently this is a well-known bug: the ata_piix driver (SATA) grabs the PATA interface. But ata_piix doesn't support PATA ATAPI devices like (gasp!) my DVD-ROM drive. So... installation cannot complete. On Ubuntu, there's supposed to be an expert mode where you can disable the ata_piix driver (it will then use the time-honoured ide driver) and everything is frosty. But I don't know how to do this in FC8 (my last Linux installs were OEL5 -- RHEL5 clone -- and FC6 a year ago). And a quick google turns up nothing.
