CentOS - Oct 2006 - Any experience with CentOS 4.4 and Intel DQ965GF?

Hi!

I'm having trouble installing CentOS 4.4 to a system with
Intel's DQ965GF motherboard. The installer hangs (even with
noprobe option). I'm wondering if someone has succeeded with
this type of installation? Is the only choice to install the
OS in another, older setup, update it and move the disks to
the DQ965GF setup?

So you're the one guy that got it working?

In order for me to even get the installer to boot on a DG965ss I have to
pass these commands to the kernel:

pci = nommconf acpi=off irqprobe all-generic-ide

If I do all of that it will install, but it has no idea what any of the
devices are.

Thanks,
