I went into the BIOS and enabled the sixth core. For some reason it was disabled, perhaps during the BIOS update, and I just didn't go into the BIOS to check. I've put the board, chip, memory, and all other components through pretty aggressive tests prior to the install. > Maybe all the problems aren't Fedora. I hacked up the installer during installation to get the ethernet controller module to load properly. The printer works fine on Ubuntu and Windows and a much older version of Linux. I learned what not to do during the install to prevent the disk partitioning from crashing. Even six months after it was released some java(script?) applications would crash FF. That's now apparently fixed. At this time I think the power management problems on my AMD X6 processor and Asus Crosshair MB are related to the upstream power management developers, so it's perhaps only indirectly related to Fedora. However, there is still a "Suspend" button on my desktop that is ineffective, and Fedora should know that it doesn't work and either disable it or produce some type of information/error message that lets me know it's not working. The VM and bridging problems I have with Fedora, including the inability for the network-manager to support bridging configurations, is a feature drawback which I don't blame on them, but I still wonder how anyone could be productive with the virt-manager application without having a bridge, which has to be done by hand. The two don't seem to work together, which makes it pretty impossible to use in any effective way.
