Hey: I just installed FC6 and I really like the new visuals and it appears to be snappier too. I did run into a couple of interesting problems. I hope somebody can give me an idea where to look. When I first booted FC6 up after the install, it didn't boot, grub booted. When I was doing the install I selected to put grub on the first drive, sda. I wasn't sure what to do so I used the rescue cd and reloaded grub and everything is fine now. Had me worried for a minute though. I get a couple of errors on startup, usb 1-2 device not accepting address 2, error -71 Any ideas on this? The other is acpi_cpufreq (some library..............................) No Such Device Is it this one? error inserting acpi_cpufreq in /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq It goes by really fast. If it isn't identifiable from this I'll just have to reboot 20 times to read it all. This is harmless. It just means that it is looking for acpi_cpufreq.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq.ko The file could be there and there is a configuration file that points to it. In my case, since I have an AMD Athlon CPU, the driver should be powernow-k7 which is not the same as cpufreq.ko and it reports this error. There was a workaround from test-list archives, Dave gave the following explanation https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-October/msg00373.html and workaround was given by Jason and its bugzilla here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201832 [root@localhost etc]# cat cpuspeed.conf VMAJOR=1 VMINOR=1 # uncomment this and set to the name of your CPUFreq module #DRIVER="powernow-k7" # Let background (nice) processes speed up the cpu OPTS="$OPTS -n" # Add your favorite options here #OPTS="$OPTS -s 0 -i 10 -r" # uncomment and modify this to check the state of the AC adapter #OPTS="$OPTS -a /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/*/state" # uncomment and modify this to check the system temperature #OPTS="$OPTS -t /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature 75" The other problem I'm having is cursor traces in text boxes on programs like Firefox and Thunderbird. If I press the backspace it leaves a vertical line on the screen where the text cursor was. It doesn't happen in terminal windows or the Open Office Writer.
