FC6 Can't Find PCI Bus Devices

[Andy Schlei]

Gilboa,

Thanks for the advice -- I assume I can check the boot logs from a DVD boot 
by switching to a second terminal the same way that I do to run lspci.

Also, during the boot, I see the message to by to the effect "BIOS fails 
ACPI Cut-off date, use ACPI=Force to use ACPI"

I'll try this tonight or tomorrow and post again.

--Andy
