I have had "issues" with installs breaking on specific hardware. New burns didn't work. Use a minimal install, i.e. barest, text only with networking then yum install using the DVD as a local source. This will pull down newer packages from the updates repo and will likely resolve the problem. <br>
cd /media/Fedora_DVD_name<br>yum local-install foo<br><br>By using the local-install you will pull first from the disk and save some download time. I don't recall which graphics card I had that one of the Fedora's just didn't like.<br>
<br>BTW: F10 is pretty slick and CentOS5.2 is rock solid stable. I would put F10 on a laptop in a heartbeat (OK, so I did that already!). CentOS 5.2 is my preferred distro for most any server (except LTSP - pulseaudio is needed for clients and it's not in the shipping kernel - so I build my own.).<br>

<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">The 'bare metal' install fails while
installing the base packages, so there are no logs available (at least
once it has failed when formatting the file systems). I'm going to attempt
to get a re-spin and burn the new DVD on another machine. It has
also been suggested that I try Fedora 10 or CentOS 5.2. I'll try
Fedora 10 if the re-spin doesn't work.</font>

<br><font face="sans-serif" size="2">Using Fedora 8, I installed the gkrellm
monitor (yum -y install gkrellm*) and all 4-cores are acting independent
(as did the 2-cores on the original AMD x2). It could very well be
a driver, so I'll poke around the mobo CD and see what I find.</font>

be considered.</font>
