Fedora7 LiveCD will not boot

[Brian Millett]

I have a Dell d820.  I try to boot the Live CD and it just hangs and will not boot.

What gives?  The Fedora 7 RC2 Live CD works.

Does "maxcpus=1" work?

Yes, I guess for a dual core that tells the kernel that there are 2 cpu's?

You may have troubles with the ACPI interface. Try using
acpi=off
