Hello, I installed it on a Asus K8V Delux with Athlon63 3200+ CPU, with 2 EIDE disks, 1 serial ATA disk, Sounblaster Audigy soundcard, GeForce FX5600XT.
I had many blocking (and not) problems:
*** During the install***
- Anaconda (and partitioner) does not detect /dev/hda! It only sees /dev/hdb and /dev/sda (sata disk)
- I usually choose english language, but I use italian keyboard, I was not able to choose this one, but only the language
- anaconda, after install asks "reboot", but it does not reboot. I had to use ctrl-alt-canc
- Anaconda is unable to enter graphic mode, and all the install is done in text mode
*** After the boot *** - In the file modprobe.conf there was a bad line: alias dmfe without the ethernet device. This is strange since upper in the file there was the correct line: alias eth2 dmfe
- Kudzu starts and the kernel crashes completely telling (sorry. not cut&paste): Kernel bug at generic:664 Invalid operand: 0000[1] ...
- After disabling automatic start of kudzu, I tried to configure graphic mode running system-config-display but it stops with this error: file "/usr/share/system-config-fisplay/xconf.py" line 412, in ? hardware_state.merge_into(xconfig) name error: name "hardware_state" is not defined
- system-config-soundcard is unusable because it needs X
- I loaded modules by hand, and then played a .ogg file with ogg123, I got this error: "Floating Point Exception"
So, in practice, the system is unusable for me.
Thanks, Alex

That is strange. My SATA drive comes up as scsi on FC1 (2.4 kernel) but ide on FC2 (2.6 kernel).
There's two drivers. The straight via driver that is in 2.6.x or the libata driver that is in both. I am currently using the VIA driver with my custom 2.6.4 kernel but I may switch to libata.

What are the pros and cons of one driver respect to the other?

Well I am not sure. I know that the earlier version of the libata driver was giving me problems but this was before FC1 was released. I was able to install onto the SATA with the x86_64 version of FC1 using the libata drivers. With that said I have been using the regular VIA drivers all along with my regular install and they seem to work fine.

Please file a bug, against anaconda.

Firewire bug in the kernel, probably. Either alias the firewire modules off, or remove them.

Please bugzilla.
