Running FC5 x86_64 here on a Turion ML-34 HP-L2000cu w/synaptics touchpad Installed perfectly 1st time no command line or other boot options required, used partitionmagic to partition out the disk, (ie: shrink the winxp partition) I even have the broadcomm onboard wireless up and going, only one thing left to fix the fglrx drivers for the 200m igp So not exactly sure what is causing all of your problems. -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Gene Heskett Sent: Sunday, April 16, 2006 7:03 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: I give up on x86-64, its too busted. Greetings; What in hell does it take to actually install the x86-64 version of FC5 on an hp lappy? I go thru the disk partitioning several times, finally manageing to convince ntfs that it only can use 30GB of the disk. Then it takes a chant like some black magic spell (linux noapic noapci irqpoll pci=assign-busses lapic) to even get it to boot, and test, the install dvd. The media test was successfull FWIW, apparently not much. I get thru the prelims ok, but fighting with a synaptics touch pad with a gain of about 70 million (1/4" of motion is off-screen in any direction, any touch is a double-tap unless holding the left button down already), and checkmark the other two boxes on the what do I install screen, click ok and go take a nap. 10 minutes later I decide its time for a bowl of cherrios & when I get back in here, the screen is telling me the media is bad or we have a bug. It cannot open the file 'setup-2.5.49-1.noarch'! Now as thats a pretty important file for the whole install process, I don't find this at all encouraging. Upsetting even... So what am I supposed to do here folks, install the i386 version? Thats NOT what I bought an amd64 equipt box for. And I've got about another 10 days to sort this, load it up and drive 1000 miles for a couple of months. -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
