So how do you explain my bad luck with 3 different systems: One home made and to office cyberpower boxes. All run AMD on Soyos.
Maybe it's the boards? Are they the same models? I have only ever read of Soyo bards on the internet - never seen any in my country, so I have no experience of them. It could maybe just be that you got three from a bad batch. I recently sent three Intel mobos back because with a P4-3ghz, 1GB dual-DDR400 they were slower than the P4-2ghz/256mb single channel DDR266 systems they replaced. Bad boards, these things happen to the best manufacturers. It could still happen that some patch or feature in the SUSE kernel causes trouble, and that that specific patch isn't in the Fedora kernel (If Fedora continues Red Hat's tradition, there probably isn't a lot extra in that kernel). I have two ASUS SiS based Pentium-I boards that simply won't boot anything newer than a 2.4.20 kernel, even a vanilla one. Something change that they don't like, it makes the kernel panic. Again, these things happen. -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy Newington Consulting Services hansdp at newingtoncs dot co dot za
