Comments/Problems:
Encountered the widely reported incompatibility with Intel 5000X
chipset which results in "the drive appears to be confused" messages
and messages about disabling IRQ #90. The Intel 5000X chipset is
also used in a similar Dell using the Intel Woodcrest Xeons.
Tried several boot parameter combinations that work with RC1 with no
success. After booting from the CD the installer can't find the CD.
