FC6 Can't Find PCI Bus Devices

[Andy Schlei]

Alan,

Thanks to your help the problem is solved.

The answer, found after trying many purmutations, is to use the kernel 
parameter

pci=noacpi

I am not quite sure why it works, but it does.

Thanks again.  Looking forward to the complete install this weekend.
