Fedora 12 not seeing floppy disk controller

2009-12-17 Thread Robert Nichols
For some reason my F-12 system is not seeing my floppy disk controller at boot time. If I manually run "modprobe floppy" the controller is recognized ("FDC 0 is a post-1991 82077") and the drive works. Any ideas? F-11 finds the controller OK. F-12: kernel-2.6.31.6-166.fc12.x86_64, udev-145-

Advantages of 64-bit on my laptop?

2009-12-06 Thread Robert Nichols
I just noticed that the CPU in my Lenovo laptop is 64-bit capable. It came with a 32-bit OS installed, so I never bothered to check. Is there any real advantage to running the 64-bit version of Fedora on a laptop that is limited to 2GB RAM? Just wondering. The F-12 x86_64 Live CD does boot and
