Please let me know if you need any further information. Have you tried to boot a live CD like Knoppix or Ubuntu? If this boots OK the output of lspci -vv lsmod would help identify the correct modules to load. I've not had the opportunity to boot from a live CD but it came with Fedora installed so here's output of those commands plus stuff about CDROM from the fedora boot/dmesg: Script started on Sat 28 Jul 2007 04:20:34 PM BST ]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ su Password: ]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/[EMAIL PROTECTED] chris]# ls [Kpci 0[K0[K-vv bash: lspci: command not found ]0;[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/[EMAIL PROTECTED] chris]# /sbub[K[Kin/lspci -cc[K[Kvv 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Memory Controller Hub (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 4f43 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast TAbort- TAbort- MAbort+ SERR- PERR- Latency: 0 Capabilities: [e0] Vendor Specific Information 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 4f43 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=fast TAbort- TAbort- MAbort- SERR- PERR- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 16 Region 0: Memory at e020 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Region 2: Memory at d000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=256M] Region 4: I/O ports at 2140 [size=8] Capabilities: [90] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit- Queue=0/0 Enable- Address: Data: Capabilities: [d0] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0-,D1-,D2-,D3hot-,D3cold-) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- 00:03.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 82Q963/Q965 HECI Controller (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 4f43 Control: I/O- Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast TAbort- TAbort- MAbort- SERR- PERR- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 11 Region 0: Memory at e0325900 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Flags: PMEClk- DSI- D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot +,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME- Capabilities: [8c] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Address: Data: 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82566DM Gigabit Network Connection (rev 02) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 0001 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=fast TAbort- TAbort- MAbort- SERR- PERR- Latency: 0 Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 2298 Region 0: Memory at e030 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Region 1: Memory at e0324000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Region 2: I/O ports at 20c0 [size=32] Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 2 Flags: PMEClk- DSI+ D1- D2- AuxCurrent=0mA PME(D0+,D1-,D2-,D3hot +,D3cold+) Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=1 PME- Capabilities: [d0] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable+ Address: fee0200c Data: 41b9 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) USB UHCI Contoller #4 (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [UHCI]) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Unknown device 4f43 Control: I/O+ Mem- BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV-

Please let me know if you need any further information. It may not be relevant, but I've had installation problems in the past with Etch, where the CD-ROM I booted from was not the first in the system. It booted fine, but then the installer later went looking for its disk in the first drive. If you now have 2 CD drives??? Peter, thanks for the thought but only 1 CD drive... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

When the install stalls do Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to another terminal and 'modprobe ata_piix'. Apologies if you have already tried this. There is a possibility that the etch kernel is not new enough for this MB, what kernel does fedora run on? If this is the case you may need a custom installer, google is your friend here.
