I've upgraded from F15 to F16 and noticed that I have a problems with hardware detection. Upon loading I can see message like
...
CPU#1 not responding
...
on the screen. It disappears and I can login then as usually. But I have only 1 CPU in System Monitor and it is always loaded by 80-100%. So my PC is very noisy. 🙂 I've noticed also that Caps Lock indicator is always on irregardless of actual caps lock status. And the system freezes out after 5-10 minutes. 🙁
I've tried clean install of F16 and the problem is the same.
My PC is Compaq Presario CQ56-118EO with Intel Pentium Dual Core T4500 CPU. I've tried to google but failed.
Is my hardware/BIOS/karma incompatible with Linux 3.x?
P.S. I upgraded my BIOS to the last version available at HP site dated back to April of 2011. No changes…
P.P.S. Not Foedora specific. Exactly the same situation with openSUSE 12.1
