Hi, > "After a short look at our benchmark results the conclusion is clear: > AMD's Sempron is able to outperform Celeron D in most applications." Except one on my machine - actually working! It has the updated BIOS for the semperon. If I turn the clock down so it's identified as a 1500+ rather than 2400+, it gets through happily to the desktop and works. Bang it back to being a 2400+ and it won't hit the desktop. Remove rhgb and things go a bit further (roughly boots halfway - gets to applying iptables and then gives that annoying 2 tone oscillating noise). Put it back on and as soon as it gets past mounting the drives, annoying 2 tone noise. Doesn't matter which kernel version it is either.
