F8 x86_64 and i386 installs hang on Dell Optiplex 320 with Intel Pentium 2160 processor

Tue Nov 13 22:40:43 UTC 2007

I have a Dell Optiplex 320 with a Pentium dual Dual Core CPU ( 2160).  I am
trying to boot off of a usb thumb drive with the disk images from the
respective full DVD.isos.

Both fail to get past probing the serial ports on boot.  The i386 thumb
drive has been used successfully to install a Dell 270. Currently both
hyperthreading and speedstep are enabled.  I have tried a few kernel
parameters, such as pci=nomsi, acpi=off and noacpi to no avail.

Has anyone succeeded in installing F8 on this hardware?

regards, Alastair
