It was more stable in fc4. The system is Asus P4R800-V Deluxe Motherboard with P4 3.00GHz CPU hyperthreading. 1GB ram. I noticed that in fc4 the hyperthreading made it unstable, so I disabled the hyperthreading function; however, it does not help in fc5. It keeps crashing. I can count 20 times a day. Before the new patch 2.6.16-1_2080smp, it was fine, but after the patch, it is totally different. the kernel now even with 2054smp is unstable. I am still wondering if wine or httpd cause the problem. Now it is like every 30-45 minutes, I have to do a hard reset. > On Mon, 10 Apr 2006, Sam Chen wrote: > > > Since I started to use Fedora Core 5, I noticed that Fedora Core is > not > > as stable as previous version, especially after upgrading to > 2080smp > > kernel.
