I was able to get past the previously reported lockup on image transfer to HD by installing from a USB DVD instead of an IDE DVD.
But now Fedora x86_64 locks up when fetching information for eth1 -- even when I clear the checkbox for activating either ethernet interface in the install.

That motherboard comes with an Attansic L1 onboard gigabit NIC, which should be working in F7T3. Are you saying you've added in a second NIC, and that NIC doesn't work? Is it an RTL8169?

If so it should be fixed by patch #0001 at:
