Actual results: After a very long time, I got KDE up once, Konqueror would start to load and then disappear. Screen froze once. Expected results: A working distro ! Additional info: Machine runs Live Ubuntu 64 very quickly w /some problems. Machine also runs PCLinuxOS 2007 and Puppy Linux quite well.
As Rex is fond of saying "Rawhide" eats babies and kills kittens so use it at your own risk. Do you have any issues running Fedora 9 on this box? Keep in mind Rawhide is constanly changing and has not yet even reached beta.
I've noticed that the platform is listed as ia64, but the processor you are using is an AMD64/EM64T. Is this a typo? Because IA64 should NOT boot on an AMD64/EM64T processor.
mogrady111@gmail.com did you verify your platform, if so is this still and issue. Please respond within 30 days or this will get closed as INSUFFICIENT DATA. Thanks
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
