The nforce3 and 4 chips aren't supported. In fact, the nforce3 is
pretty challenging to get installed. However, I was able to pull it off
with a customer recently. We had to use the nvidia drivers for the
nforce3 chipset. We installed with RHEL 3 update 3.
At the installation boot prompt we passed the following parameters:
acpi=off dd
...and then loaded the nvidia drivers.
This may or may not work for all hardware combinations, but I thought
I'd share that with you so you can try it.
Fedora Core 3 and RHEL 4 beta, from what many customers are telling me,
installs pretty flawlessly on the nforce3 motherboards without any
special intervention....so RHEL 4 may be a better fit for this hardware
once it is officially released.
Hope that helps!
