My understanding is that it is a 32 bit CPU (T2300), it does want
to read a 64 bit iso DVD.

How do I prevent the kernel module i915 from being loaded?
by Singapore Citizen Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming)
Hi,
I have already appended 'blacklist i915' to
/lib/modprobe.d/dist-blacklist.conf but it is still being loaded. What
else can I do?
Please advise.
Thank you very much.

This is what it says:
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx con
stant_tsc arch_perfmon bts aperfmperf pni monitor vmx est tm2 xtpr pdcm dtherm
bogomips : 3325.08
clflush size : 64
cache_alignment : 64
address sizes : 32 bits physical, 32 bits virtual
no lm flags,
So 32 bits?

Re: 3.2Gb over 4Gb
by Patrick Dupre
OK,
Thank.
The bizard thing is that when I tried to run the x86_64 install DVD, it just
did want to do it!
However, do you think that it will extend the accessible memory since it seems
that it is a chipset issue?

Virtualbox
by Gary Stainburn
Hi folks.
After years of going to look at virtualisation and prompting from the threads
pm here about Virtualbox on here I decided to firstly install it on my newish
desktop to try it. I used the following instructions which worked a treat.
http://www.tecmint.com/install-virtualbox-on-redhat-centos-fedora/
I was so impressed with how easy it was and how quick the WinXP client was
that I tried it on my old Dell Vostro 1510 laptop too. Even on this the
WinXP client is surprisingly quick and far simpler than dual booting.
For those that are considering it, go for it.

As far as I can tell, the Intel Core Duo T2300 is an x86 (32 bit) processor, so I suppose you are using a 32 bit flavour of Fedora, hence general purpose memory should be properly limited as high physical addresses are usually reserved (in the range 0xC0000000-0xFFFFFFFF) for PCI devices' IO (PAE won't help here). So BIOS' mere approximation of available RAM is vaguely correct because it apperently ends at the 3GB boundry. Some operating systems like Windows strictly reserve this upper 1GB. Others like Linux allow the user to use some memory page "wholes" in the PCI IO address range, but this requires explicit configuration of the kernel at boot time or at compile time. This is a difficult task, even to that extent that it gives troubles to experts.
Long story short, your machine is probably running properly and you won't get anything more out of it.

Yes it is PAE (in fact I though about that).

F19 install wonked
by Howard Howell
HELP!!! I downloaded the F19 live Games DVD image, burnt the disk OK,
installed OK. Won't boot. Mother board is ASUS UEFI system. Don't get
Grubby!!
Tried using the firmwire boot option to select the disk, no go. So,
what steps should I take to try and find this. I can boot the live DVD
OK, so tools are available. How do I get the uefi to boot, and i want
to make this system dual boot for windows for games. I know how to set
up the grub 2 after the work getting my F17 to work, so once I get
grubby up, I should be able to handle the rest.
Thanks!

Fedora 19 missing disk in install
by David Highley
We have an install issue we have not seen before. System is currently
running Fedora 18 x86_64. Hardware is Asus P6X58-E Pro motherboard with
an old 3Ware hardware raid system with two units. The current partition
where we want to do a fresh install to is sda and the other partition
with user data is sdb.
We are booting from a USB thumb drive that has been used to install
another test system and this is the method that Fedora 18 was installed
with.
We see that the partition sda is found or listed on the screen before we
get to the GUI mode. The issue is when we are in the GUI installer and
go to the storage the sda partition is not present but the sdb and the
thumb drive is shown as sdc are shown. We have found no way so far to
add or get that partition to show up for selection. Hence the install is
going no where.
Searches have found no posting of issues for this motherboard.

How to install VMware -
by Bob Goodwin
My grandson downloaded a trial copy of VMware for me from his Mac
portable and put it on a flash drive which I have.
This 400 meg file is what I see when I look at the contents of the flash
drive: VMware-Workstation-Full-9.0.2-1031769.x86_64.txt
Can someone tell me how to use it assuming it is the right file? I also
have a key to go with it but have not been able to find any useful [to
me] instructions.
Bob
