>Organization:
>Environment:
Won't install
>Description:
While installing from a CD, the machine hangs at the following line

agp0: <Intel 82443BX (440 BX) host to PCI bridge>
agp0: allocating GATT for aperature of size 64M

A search on google revealed other people having this same issue and tracking it down the the AGP support in the kernel.

As a note booting from the floppies works great, but they install a kernel which has AGP built in so the system won't boot after the installation has finished.

Is AGP support really necessary in the default kernel?
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Boot a kernel without AGP support.
