When I boot off the Fedora 10 full distribution DVD, which I believe is
kernel 2.6.27.5, at the first screen, "Welcome to Fedora 10!", I tell it
to Install or upgrade, and then I get a variety of errors on the text
console, including:

ata1.00 failed to IDENTIFY

and

PNP: PS/2 appears to have AUX port disabled ...

and problems enumerating USB devices, and

ehci_hcd 0000:00:04.1: Unlink after no_IRQ? Controller is probably
using the wrong IRQ.

and

ohci_hcd 0000:00:04.0: Unlink after no_IRQ? Controller is probably
using the wrong IRQ.

after which it does nothing. There is no power to USB and PS/2 devices.

Let me know any other ways I can help you diagnose this.
