Fedora 2 running really slow on laptop
Hey everyone, my first post..i tried looking for a simalar problem with no luck..
here is my hardware first off acer ferrari 3200LMI notebook AMD Athlon 64 2800+ 512 DDR 80GB HD now it installed no problem with the dvd iso (64 bit distro) but upon booting up it took over 15 mins!, which is alright i guess for the first boot, but once im into the accual desktop, the machine runs really slow, taking a while to do simple tasks, Any ideas?

add acpi=off to your startup string
|
im sorry im pretty new to linux, how do i modify the startup string
|
If you are using lilo
this is an example edit the /etc/lilo.conf image=/boot/vmlinuz label="linux" root=/dev/hda5 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="quiet devfs=mount acpi=off" read-only make it active ( make sure you have root permissions, is not type su ) /sbin/lilo -c if you are using grub this is an example edit the /boot/grub/grub.conf title SuSE Linux 9.0 Professional (2.4.21 opt.) kernel (hd0,4)/boot/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda9 showopts ide=nodma apm=off acpi=off vga=normal nosmp noapic maxcpus=0 3 initrd (hd0,4)/boot/initrd |
see im running systemcommander 8 to duel boot a xp and linux system. for my linux i got a 485 mb swap space.. is that ok? a 5 gig root and a 3 gig home partition
|
systemcommander is not a linux tool, try to pres f1 or f2 when you are in the boot menu maybe that give's you access to its setup.
Swap memory as a rule is equal to the internal memory, so in your case about 512Mb, if you had about 128Mb internal memory or less I would double it. Splitting up your disk to create a different root and home is used in large organization's but not in home computing, create one partition for both. |
