I had big troubles with recent ati driver/Xserver combo. To that
extent that my old monitor used in tests got damaged (most likely
by this driver although I cannot be absolutely sure).
Various details at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=478608
As for now I backed off to binaries from F10 to have something to
look at. That likely requires also replacing xorg-x11-drv-evdev,
which I have not done, or xorg.conf changes. Otherwise you will
loose your keyboard and a mouse.

I have seen quite a lot of bugzilla reports concerning graphical install as
well as running X issues with 82845, and some 82945, graphics chipsets, and
some reports go back to F8 days and seem were never resolved even up to F10.
I have two machines (one with each of these chipsets) and need to update
them to F10 using a clean install. On one machine (which has 82845G) the
graphical install failed as soon as the graphical part of the boot started
during an install attempt earlier today.
Does anyone have a workaround to get machines with these graphics chipsets
installed? By the way I used a home-spun re-spin of the DVD iso for the
install that includes all updates to 3rd January 09. I have not seen any
further updates appear since that time so this is as up to date as I can
find at the moment.
The problem appears to be in the newer xorg-x11-drv-i810 driver so any
information about progress in this direction would be appreciated.

This problem with Intel 82915G/GV/910GL is probably the same.
At least on RHEL5 this still works, with F9 and F10 (I don't remember
if I tried F8) it doesn't work anymore.

Maybe

is related?
This suggests that i810 might work where vesa and intel drivers do not?

A very recent reply to that bz suggests that a fix may already be in the
kernel updates to F10 for 945 chipsets - and since I do have the newest
kernel in my install iso, I should be able to check that when I return to
the machine in the next day or so, but in the meantime I would really
appreciate it if anyone can confirm a good working install for F10 on a
machine with 82945G graphics?
Thanks

Tuesday @ 15:00 UTC/10 AM EST
Agenda
1) Reviewing the follow-up actions from last meeting:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/Meetings/Minutes-2008-Dec-16
2) Discuss goals we would like to set and meet for the Fedora 11 Release
Cycle. I'd like to suggest we pick "SMART" goals:
S - specific
M - measurable
A - agreed on
R - relevant
T - timely (can be completed during Fedora 11)
http://www.projectsmart.co.uk/smart-goals.html
3) Status from comphappy on metrics collection (if he is able to attend)

I installed FC10 on an IBM Thinkpad x30. 82830 chipset or there
abouts. I did a text installation and used this xorg config [0].
Worked. Hope that helps you.

them to F10 using a clean install.
Use 'xdriver=vesa' in boot parameters or a text install. Follow
up with a workaround described in the referenced report.
On one machine (which has 82845G) the
graphical install failed as soon as the graphical part of the boot started
during an install attempt earlier today.
Most likely a display driver went into an infinite loop as detailed
in bugzilla.

I found that using the noirqdebug kernel option seems to be the catch-all solution to this
problem. The description of this kernel option is: "By default, the kernel attempts
to detect and disable unhandled
interrupt sources because they can cause problems with the
responsiveness of the rest of the kernel if left unchecked. This
option will disable this logic." Basically this no longer displays the IRQ Disabled
message and does not disable the IRQ at all.
So, it seems like there is an unhandled interrupt which in causing the kernel to disable
the IRQ, causing the devices to hang up. Others have fixed the problem by
disabling/re-configuring the device causing the unhandled interrupt. My question is why
is the kernel not handling the interrupt?
I did mention the hardware involved in my first message, but specifically I have a stock
Dell SC1420 with a Highpoint RAID 2322 add on card. My USB device, NIC, and RAID card are
sharing an IRQ and after some time the kernel disables that IRQ and the system becomes
unresponsive. For other people the symtpoms they've seen depend on which devices were
involved in the diabled IRQ.
I don't have the ability to change any IRQ assignments in my BIOS.

(which is also what Fedora 10 starts out with) and got the same IRQ disabled messages and
sure enough my computer locked up within a few minutes of booting that kernel. Luckily I
still had the 2.6.25 kernel installed, so I booted into that one instead.

I also do not have a disable PnP OS option in BIOS. I also saw a suggestion to change
the SATA mode to AHCI in BIOS instead of IDE, but I don't have that option either (for
me only RAID or non-RAID). This worked from some, but I think in their case the ata
device was involved in the interrupt that was being disabled.
Likely, if there's no more serious problem than the message folk don't
notice it and/or simply ignore it.
Do you have an option to change IRQ assignments in the BIOS?
I don't recall that you've mentioned anything about the hardware. There
are some pointers in my sig to "asking good questions." Many problems
arise on a small set of hardware or in rare circumstances. You are our
eyes, and if you don't give us the information we're blind, and a lot of
people will ignore you.
