BUT let me add some info regarding these previous kernels:
a:) Release version Fedora core 6 - did get installed, but
failed on receiving upgraded kernels.
b:) Release Fedora7 + different test releases all failed.
( in the above, this include both i386 and x86_64 )
c:) However, I did download something from Cambridge?-and
got some Fedora7 installed with ZEN. But as I don't have
a clue what is involved, I gave it up.
d:) A reason for this purchase, was to get wireless. While
in contact with bcm43xx, I tried OpenSuse 10.2 which installed.
Then downloaded a more recent kernel. Used clone-config, in
order to get comparable versions. Did report this (comment #14)
e:) The most troublesome issue has been the touchpad. Even after
removing "tapping" ( gsynaptics or ksynaptics ) it is still
troublesome. However it is a good indicator when things are
very wrong, like it start executing applications on it's own.
( a hellish device that has cost me lot of grief )
------------------
Comments to what you said:
1. I had the results as presented in (comment#19)
2. At bcm43xx - similar questions as yours came up.
3. Followed directions:
3.1 From YaST: libata and scsi_mod added to "INITRD MODULES"
3.2 executed : /sbin/mkinitrd
3.3 restarted: no apparent change
3.4 power off, restart hours later - didn't work. Machine dead,
no lights, no display, no keys working.
3.5 Pulled out the RTC battery, and it did the trick.
3.6 Checked HP and found a report that did discribe this experience.
Did install a BIOS upgrade ( done through Vista ), just in case.
But also because perhaps it would give some new settings ? but nope.
3.7 Because of info (comment#16) I installed Fedora8 test2, as OpenSuse
didn't have anything matching the kernel mentioned.
In closing: - I think what I said in (comment#19) is correct. Have compared
both situations, and the disk dies out - don't respond to "resume" as
described.
NOTE ! - you may have expected to see more things installed, more io to be
reported. What I have reported - is kernels up until that latest OpenSuse.
note (comment#16) - I have not supplied anything what the machine may
give me now.
If you compare with Florian, my chipset isn't in the kernel until recently.
So, a lot of devices are not detected. The chipset enable that bridge, is
what it seem like to me.
This isn't a computer, it is a "movie/game/player". The chipset include
encryptions/decoders on all "steams". It may be used for pay by download
movies,
and much more, mp3, you name it. Microsoft have the keys that may disconnect
us.
So ? - I am tempted to return it, see if something with a better keyboard and
screen resolution can be found. But that isn't easy, as most are pretty much
the
same, geared towards the same marked.
