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?
Yes, I'm happily running FC6 x86_64 on my box Athlon 64 3200+. No problems with the installer (GUI). I've done a fresh install (my preferred method for upgrading). The MoBo is an ASUS, graphic card ATI Radeon, 2GB of DDR. Both NIC, the GigaBit integrated and a RealTek 10/100 are working. -- Alessandro Brezzi -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
