Title: Intel DQ965GF mainboard and SME 7.2
Post by: dilligaf on September 26, 2007, 09:39:20 PM

Trying to install on the above board.
Hangs at probing PCI.
I tried sme pci=nommconf
This gets further then prompts for driver for Local Cdrom.
What now?

This worked for me:


In BIOS go to Advanced, Drive Configuration and set ATA/IDE mode to Legacy.

1. install SME with the command "sme pci=nommconf acpi=off all-generic-ide"

2. restart PC

3. At first boot , click any key to boot into Kernel.
scroll to Kernel and type e (edit)
Add "pci=nommconf acpi=off all-generic-ide" and press enter then press b (boot)
- Then you can configure the system (server name,IP address) then reboot.

4. Boot as you have done - add parameters on grub boot screen as below.

Add to kernel at login "pci=nommconf acpi=off all-generic-ide" and press enter then press b (boot)

Log in as root and type

nano /boot/grub/grub.conf

Add to the kernel lines "all-generic-ide"
Save and reboot to test.

I hope this helps .... : )
