Hi,
I just helped a friend installing a Core 6 in his laptop and the
outcome is suboptimal.
Amongst the usual problems [1] with the installation, the main
annoyance is due to the general slowness of the entire system.
It all start as soon as "Starting udev" appears: this step takes
roughly 2 minutes!
Then the boot continue but everything is deadly slow; I also noticed
the CPU usage going to 100% just by moving the mouse.
Please note this same laptop was also affected by:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=186164
so an issue with the sony hardware could be a valid hypothesis
I am attaching the dmesg output [2]: if needed I could provide other info.
Thanks in advance for any insight
Think I've seen this firsthand. Boot with 'nolapic' and see if that fixes
it.
Dave
