Dear All, I have previous posted on here before about some of the problems I have been have with various services in 4.1 particularly, PCMCIA, XFS, and Netowrk. I have a nf4x mobo with an amd semprom 3000+. The video card is an Asus radeon x500 (uses the x300 drivers). I have also tried fedora core 4 as well which the same repeatable results. Basically the problem is the services freeze when they start up, but if I removed them from init.d the computer starts fine and they start fine manually. Yet, when I get going I have several various ata errors, and lets not even think about running gnome which just locks up and hangs. My question is: is the hardware support for x86_64 as good as i386. I just installed i386 4.1 without a hang or any problems. thanks
