FC3 Install Revisited Again

No go here. Have to use ide=nodma.

Have had FC2 and RHWS on these machines. Only things I've changed are 
dual CPU from 266 to 300. Video cards are now 16MB AGP instead of 128MB 
AGP. I am starting to suspect the ISE SB16ProII may be the problem at 
IRQ 5, DMA and DRQ 1.

The motherboards are GemLite P6LIDK that have these features (from 
Manual):

Processor
  • Intel Dual Pentium II series.
  • The mainboard can run with following speeds: 233, 266, 300 and 333MHz
Chipset
  • Intel i82443LX (PCI A.G.P. Controller)
  • Intel 82371AB (PCI ISA IDE Xcelerator)
  • Winbond W83977TF (Super I/O Controller)
  • Adaptec AIC-7880 (SCSI Controller)
Main Memory
  • Memory configurations up to 512MB SDRAM or 1GB EDO.
  • DIMM socket for SDRAM (3.3V unbuffered).
  • Support both Synchronous DRAM and Extended Data Output (EDO) Mode 
DRAM Modules.
  • ECC Function ensure data correction and integrity.
Multi I/O
  • On board Multi-I/O supports two serial, one parallel ports and 
floppy drive controller.
  • Serial ports are 16550 Fast UART compatible.
  • Parallel port has EPP and ECP capabilities.
  • PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse connector is provided.
  • IrDA supported.
  • USB supported. Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) Interface
  • A.G.P. specification compliant
  • A.G.P. 66/133MHz devices supported
PCI IDE
  • On board supports PCI Master IDE Controller, two connectors support 
up to four IDE
      devices such as HDD, CD ROM drive and Tape Back-up drives, etc.
  • PCI Master IDE controller supports PIO Mode 3 and 4 devices, I/O 
data transfer rate can be
      up to 16.6MB/s.
  • Ultra DMA Mode supported.  Transfer rate can be up to 33MB/s.

In addition to the video and SB cards have 2 D-Link 530TX and 1 LinkSys 
100TX NIC cards in each machine. The plan is to bond the D-Link cards 
between the two servers (192.168.3) for quicker mirroring/updates. The 
LinkSys cards go out to a switch  (192.168.1) and through a another 
computer (PIII550MHz RHWS9 or FC3) running a firewall to the internet 
router (192.168.0). Have done this before and the only difference I can 
figure would matter are the SB16ProII ISA cards.
