Hey all,
My Dell Latitude C640 laptop for some reason kept locking up on Fedora 9. I thought it
might be related to the fact that it was docked, so I undocked it, no luck. Tried
installing Fedora 10, it locked up in the installation program once I got to custom
package selection. Tried again while skipping the customization process, it locks up
during the package installation.
The lockup seems to be similar to the CPU overheating that I have experienced in the past
when a fan went bad on my Dell desktop. I'm not really all that sure as to whether or
not the fan is running on here when I have booted into Fedora either. I think I've
seen this happen when the GPU on my laptop overheated as well. I also saw a common bug
posted on Radeon graphics chipsets, which this laptop has the Radeon 7500 set, but I am
not sure if that is an issue either.
As usual (fortunately or unfortunately, I'm not sure which) I'm having zero issues
when using Windows XP Pro SP3.
Any ideas?
Oh, and is anybody else having trouble with Gmane lately? I can't seem to post to the
groups, and Lars won't answer my e-mails.
Thanks,
William
