Hi, I am trying to boot Fedora 10 on Poulsbo chipset but am unsuccessful. Can anyone suggest what version of Fedora supports the Poulsbo chipset?
Thanks Meghana

None. Short answer: Your hardware is a paperweight.
Long answer: There are some third-party, partly proprietary drivers around. Some people got Fedora sorta working on Poulsbo with those, some didn't. There's also the generic vesa driver, but most likely that one is what you're using (as there's no driver for the Poulsbo in Fedora) and which doesn't work for you. It's also going to be hard to install the third-party drivers if you can't even get Fedora to boot.

Poulsbo is a bit of a "winputer" chipset.
You might get it to kind of work if you have a new enough kernel and the BIOS IDE setting for AHCI but the video will suck totally if you can even get it to work with the vesa driver.
If possible get a "normal" Intel chipset system instead and leave that one for Windows.
