RE: Notebook compatability with FC12 x86_64.

Thank you for your reply Miguel Perez.

I had again the Windows 7
installed because I needed to work and with a OS a little corrupted
it's impossible. I will put the live CD again and install again, for
diagnose.

I had tried the 32-bit, still problems with the
harddrive detection, the wireless/bt thing, plus the same kernel
errors. No firefox because the addins for firefox is for 32bit system,
but that is a adobe problem, not firefox or FC12 problem.

Everything you may need of info to improve the FC (or try to improve) at least to my model, please ask.

Also I'm sorry for the duplicate e-mails, I'm still getting used to this kind of mailing list. It will not happen again.

Best Regards,
Márcio Teixeira

Hi Márcio,
Seems that you got a not-well-supported laptop. Googling around a bit i've seen that a lot of people needed to disable acpi to make it work, so if you did that don't expect any acpi-related thing to work.

Good Afternoon

I tried all your releases, since the FC11 x86_64 and none of them I can put it working correctly with my Asus M51TR notebook.

The shortcuts from the keyboard doesn't work correctly, I can shutdown the Wireless via the shortcut but not the BT, that stays always ON;

Everytime I start the FC11 and FC12 it gives me kernel errors, even with the updates made via FC update funcionality;

Maybe you could attach those messages in next posts, maybe someone has a clue about them. You can do this in a console to get the messages into a file:

     dmesg > dmesg.txt

Harddrive controllers doesn't are correctly detected.

The other problems are problems related with the Firefox add-ins that aren't compatible with a 64bit OS (Flash and Shockwave problems).

You have further instructions here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Flash

That kind of problems make me only have a Linux installed in my NB for only 24 hours MAX. I'd like to change from the crappy Windows for a more powerful and reliable OS, but unfortunely FC doesn't are a walk in a park in my situation.

Doesn't someone have any tips that can provide me to help me?

If 64-bit distro version is not working properly for you maybe 32-bit version will do it, ¿did you tried?
