Description of problem: My x86_64 freezes after installing fc5. There is no error-message in log nor oops, it just freezes after some time (up to 2 hours after booting). It seems to be a problem about the 2.6.15-kernel-series, because I get the same problem on fc4 when using 2.6.15-xx. I'm using an Athlon 64 (1.8Ghz) with an ASUS A8V deluxe board an NV Geforce2 MX400 (using the free nv driver) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.15-1.2054_FC5 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot with fc5 standard-kernel 2. wait 3. freeze Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: What else is important? I don't know, just ask.
btw: Same problem with 2.6.16-1.2069_FC5 from devel-repo
seems similar to bug # 186852
my problem on amd64 on ASUS K8S-MX is similar. Freezing after partial load of internet pages when waiting for input from other URL, start of file handling, other tasks.System remains operative but tasks do not complete. For one day, ran perfectly, like a train, online updates were applied ok. Started transfering working files. Then on-line update accepted of Mozilla. Still OK. But then asked for dependency check of Mozilla update, accepted, and problem recurred - system went off to check and didn't respond.Is it related to having choice of two kernels (introduced after on-line update)because I had similar problem with co-existing 2.4.20-8 and 2.6.15.
