I'm running Fedora x86_64 on an AMD 3800+ machine! Homebrew using an ASUS
AV8 Motherboard with 2GB of Dual-Channel RAM.

I asked this some time ago, and as far as I can see
only got replies from people running the i386 version of Fedora-6.
Yesterday I installed the i386 version on my Athlon 64 machine,
and it seems to run without any problems at all -
I compiled kernel-2.6.18.2 in a few seconds,
whereas trying to compile the same kernel under x86_64
caused several crashes during the compilation,
and when it was complete the kernel only ran for a few minutes
before crashing.
(I had the experience trying to re-compile the latest Fedora kernel.)
I suppose it is possible that these problems arise from some fault
in my computer, but it seems much more likely to be a software problem.
So I'll ask again if anyone is happily running the x86_64 version of FC-6
on an Athlon 64 machine?
Nope, I stuck with using the stock I686 kernel for now. I don't screw
with the kernel either. I used to, back when, but too many things can
break messing with it nowadays, and it's not worth it to me. I do more
multimedia stuff so I'm sticking with 32 bit for now.
You probably have the wrong kernel vs kernel-devel bug, if you just
installed. One will be i686 and the other i586, I forgot which was
which, but you can grasp the problem. Check this:

Plus the config.h thing.
