Hello all.
I have just installed FC2 on three different computers with different hardware configs. I am happy to say that it runs like a champ on all of them however I am having some issues with two of the video cards. *shock*
Machine #1 is Pentium 4 with hyperthreading and has a ATI Radeon 9800 XT graphics card. Upon startup of the smp kernel I get the message 'ACPI: S3 & PAE do not like each other for now, S3 disabled.' and then the machine proceeds to lock up with a blank screen. Everything does work fine with a single processor kernel though, so I am not horribly concerned. I have had the same problem with FC1 and smp-capable live CDs (namely Knoppix-STD). I understand what the S3 disabled message means, just wondering if there is any easy way to get them to like each other. :)
Machine #2 is a true dual processor running 2 Pentium 3 850's and has a Apollo S3 Savage4 AGP. Upon startup with the smp kernel I get the same PAE/S3 message but I do manage to successfully get into X. The problem occurs when I try to exit X for any reason (logging out, shutting down or switching to a console). I have same issue with the single processor kernel and have also tried RedHat 9 and FC1 on this machine -- both have the same problem. Amazingly, the live CDs have no problems jumping in and out of X.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
