I know that the E6600 runs well on Linux.
Anyone have a Q6600 running and have opinions on this quad processor over the dual above?

I've been trying to install a system on a Q6600 as well, no luck till now. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated! Thanks to everyone!
10.2, 32bit, from retail DVD. I first installed minimal, later KDE. I had the problem that the whole system crashed when going into runlevel 3 from 5, or just switching from the desktop to the console. After adding vga=cantremember to grub it works fine again (i remember there was a bug about this with nvidia cards). I'm not tested everything, but so far the system runs fine for me. I will try beta3 on the weekend on this system. btw: is you bios up to date? Some boards may have just rudimentary support to recognize the CPU and some fixes in later releases. -- with kind regards, Martin Lasarsch, Core Services SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5 90409 Nürnberg GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) martin.lasarsch@suse.de - http://www.opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
