Hi, I just helped a friend installing a Core 6 in his laptop and the outcome is suboptimal. Amongst the usual problems [1] with the installation, the main annoyance is due to the general slowness of the entire system. It all start as soon as "Starting udev" appears: this step takes roughly 2 minutes! Then the boot continue but everything is deadly slow; I also noticed the CPU usage going to 100% just by moving the mouse. Please note this same laptop was also affected by: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186164 so an issue with the sony hardware could be a valid hypothesis I am attaching the dmesg output [2]: if needed I could provide other info. Thanks in advance for any insight Gianluca [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211941 [2] dmesg output Linux version 2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 (brewbuilder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx) (gcc version 4.1.1 20061011 (Red Hat 4.1.1-30)) #1 SMP Mon Oct 16 14:37:32 EDT 2006 BIOS-provided physical RAM map: BIOS-e820: 0000000000000000 - 000000000009f800 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000000009f800 - 00000000000a0000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000000dc000 - 0000000000100000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 0000000000100000 - 000000001fee0000 (usable) BIOS-e820: 000000001fee0000 - 000000001feea000 (ACPI data) BIOS-e820: 000000001feea000 - 000000001ff00000 (ACPI NVS) BIOS-e820: 000000001ff00000 - 0000000020000000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000e0000000 - 00000000f0006000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000f0008000 - 00000000f000c000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000fed20000 - 00000000fed90000 (reserved) BIOS-e820: 00000000ff000000 - 0000000100000000 (reserved) 0MB HIGHMEM available. 510MB LOWMEM available.
