I'm a little confused as to whether you are having problems with a
P4P800 or P5P800. If it is indeed the P4P800, I had a little problem
with Fc3 and FC4 with it.

On FC4 the problem was that the DVD-ROM that I was installing from was
being setup wrong or something.  On FC4 the disc check would say that
the DVD was bad (it was good, checked via another machine.)  by doing
the whole ide=nodma on the install fixed all of my problems.

I run mythtv on this box, everything works for me (dma only needed to
off for the install.)
