Dear listers, Recently I got a black edition of Phenom 9600 with DFI's UT790FX-M2R. BIOS is Jan 3, beta.
I tested several operating systems on it. (1) Fedora C. 8 Install went on rather smoothly, but the login window seemed to be messy. A lot of non fatal errors. So, I stopped here. (2) FreeBDS 7.0/6.3 The installer could boot if acpi is disabled. I did not go any further. (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. Over clocking makes matter worse. Troubles of Phenom with linux are reported somewhere in the net. So, I plan to test opensuse 11.0 Alpha1, because it comes with newer kernel. But, it would be nice, if someone who tried it on 790(F)X sends quick report to the list. Thank you for your attention. yoriaki fujimori -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
