I have an Asus P4P800, people online over the years have suggested all
kinds of boot tinkering and software changes. None of them ever work.
The ONLY way you are going to get this board to work with Fedora is
to change a BIOS setting.
In your BIOS goto ..
Main > IDE Configuration > Onboard IDE Operate Mode
Change it from Enhanced Mode to Compatible Mode.
After you have installed Fedora you can return it back to Enhance
mode.

Ok nice to be right back in the EXACT same position I was in
several
years ago regarding this motherboard and installing FC. I think it
was
FC3 that this first became an issue, but I was able to work around
it
and install FC. So now, I tried to install FC6/7 and I yet to find
a way
to get it installed.
So now it has been a year or so without being able to run
Fedora/CentOS.
Please help as I really don't want to use Ubunto and especially
not
Suse.
Anyone have an issue installing on the Asus board?
Trying to install causes a seg fault when dealing with the hard
drives
either in BIOS setting compatibility mode or SATA mode. Anaconda
shows
the hard drives as "/dev/mapper" or something like that,
but as you
know, they should appear as /dev/sda and /dev/sdb. All I ever see
is a
single "/dev/mapper" which suggests that Anaconda sees a
raid array
even
after I fdisk the drives. Of coarse this also rendered the system
unusable after the seg fault resulted in a reboot.
