Sent this last night, but my registration was apparently not complete
and it did not go to the list (not in archive, anyway)>
The i get an error when booting FC3 on a Dell Precision 530 ("i8042.c:
Can't read CTR while initializing i8042"). The keyboard and mouse are
then "dead" from there on--can't press a key and trigger kudzu before
the timeout, can't type a username/password on the X11 login screen,
etc. Odd, since they both worked fine all the way through a graphical
install, just not with the resulting kernel config. Reading suggests
apci/apic problem in i8042.c code, I've tried the suggested noapic and
noacpi kernel line parms, but nothing's working. I did include SELinux
in "warn" mode in the install, FWIW.
Installed FC1, and everything worked ok. Will try FC1-->FC3 upgrade
tonight. Suggestions welcome.
