So, new job and a shiny new HP Duo Core computer with 2G RAM and twin 250G ATA drives, loaded with Windows XP of course. The 1st thing I do is to load FC6 on the 2nd of the disks. After 2 days (!) I have everything loaded and updated but the system is running really, and I mean REALLY slow. It takes about 15 mins to boot up and 5 to log in. Both processors are heavily loaded but yet top shows nothing out of the ordinary, memory usage is abot 15%. During boot I get these two error messages: ... Starting udev: Wait timeout. Will continue in the background. [FAILED] ... and ... Warning: Error inserting freq_table (/lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2944.fc6/kernel/drivers/cpufreq/freq_table.ko): Required key not available. ... The CPU frequency monitor applet show CPU0 to be running between 1.60 and 2.13GHz. I checked through messages and these couple of things look suspicious: ACPI: exception (acpi_processor-0677): AE_NOT_FOUND, Processor Device is not present [10060707] This message was repeated for the 2nd processor. speedstep-centrino with X86_SPEEDSTEP_CENTRINO_ACPI config is depreciated. Use X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ (acpi-cpufreq) instead ata: 0x01F0 IDE port busy ata: conflict with IDE 0. ata: 0x0170 IDE port busy ata: conflict with ide1 ata_piix: probe of 000:00:1f.2 failed with error -16 Does anyone have any insight of these messages or whwre to start looking to fix this. Thanks, Steve
