I maintain an Acer laptop with an Athlon 64 bit processor. I have been running Mandriva 2005 for years without problems, but I maintain a second boot partition in hopes of upgrading someday. After 3.5 years and many, many attempts I am still relying on Mandriva 2005.
My last attempt was a load of SUSE 11.0. I got it working but could not get my wireless card (a broadcom) working. I really liked the suspend-to-memory feature and would use it when I was on wired networks, which is most of the time.
BUT, after about a week, after a reboot, the system would not come up. It gets to the end of the setup and fails while trying to set up X11, something about an MTRR failure writing to memory.
After that I tried Mandriva 2009, but this had no suspend feature so I reloaded SUSE. This morning I had the same problem. I will try rebooting with ACPI off eventually, but for now I am happy back on Mandriva 2005.
