Dear listers, (3) OpenSUSE 10.2 No problem. But, the benchmark showed the half speed of the CPU. On the window executing top, the cpu load level of all 4 cores showed 50%. So, the recent kernel 2.6.18 does not know Phenom. (4) OpenSUSE 10.3 I had got a lot of trouble in installing this. In the middle of installation, the system hanged many times. It took more thatn half day to complete the installation of minimal graphical system. Enven after installation, I had to reset PC many times until the text login propmt comes out. Another trouble is it takes a very long time to shutdown the system. Once it starts, things go well without X.
You are not alone. Many of us share your pain with the 10.3 installer. 10.2 install - no problems, 10.3 install - bloody mess, crashed gui installer, broken repair installation, etc. It will be interesting to see the kernel experts chime in and help us understand how the current kernel supports the quad core single die architecture and whether it does or doesn't have an affect on the 50% core load you are seeing. The problem could be as simple as a bug in the way the core load is calculated for quad core processors or as serious as something that prevents any utilization of the remainder of the processor power.
