I have not been able to install FC 3 or FC 4 test 2 to
Fujitsu-Siemens
Amilo A 1630 laptop. FC 3 dies on install with "out of space errors" on
root when there definitely is space. The synaptics touchpad is jittery
and mouse cursor bounces all over the screen on install. FC 4 test 2
dies in loading the installation kernel. (FC 3 mouse problem during
install is solved with acpi=off).
I should have explained - I was the original poster -
that I was running the i386 version of FC-3 on my Athlon64 machine.
This originally worked OK,
but did not seem to work well with recent kernels.
[Someone suggested that this was due to cpufreq,
which I was running and which seems a reasonable candidate.]
However, now I have installed the x86-64 distribution,
and this seems to work beautifully.
