Thanks for the reply.

I tried to type "linux noapic" and "linux noprobe noapic" at boot time, as
you suggested.
The installer still asks for a driver and "Intel PIIX/ICH ATA controllers
(ata-piix)" is present on the list of drivers.
When I choose that driver the installer responds "can't find any devices for
that driver...".
Then back to the driver selection dialog.

I know little of such boot time parameters, and though I found a list of
such parameters, I'm unable to discern which parameters could be useful for
my problem.

Obviously, the DVD drive works up to that point in whatever mode that is.
Is there any way of continuing the installation in that mode?
Could I pull the (unknown) needed driver off the fedora 7 or 8 install media
and use that via an usb memory stick?
