I'd be interested to know if anyone has had similar problems
with this CPU, or alternatively had no problems installing Fedora.
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?
Running it on a dual opteron with no issue...
