I am trying to follow ckloiber.com, I got it to install with chkconfig.

But on reboot, I can't get lan to work and it's slwo, so I never get to download the new kernal.
I tried to put the new kernel on cdrom but it wont' mount.

I installed FC2 and the patched kernel.

installed kernel and the xorg.conf via CD ROM.

It's says Determining IP information, Failed.
And I can't get network to boot.


And... it's still very slow.
You mention that we should set up grub like you said but did not say explicity what so I just added pci=noacpi,useriprqmask.


hints?

FIXED:
Key is
kernel boot options "noapic pci=noacpi,usepirqmask" in grub.conf.
