Dear All,
I have installed FC6 ( from five CDs burnt ) in our PE6600 dell computer, which contains 4 CPUs and 16GB RAM. FC4 was installed in this box previously with no any problem.
However after FC6 was installed and rebooted, I got the message of "asking for cache data failed, assuming drive cache: write through, reading all physical data, this may take a while..." This process really took very long (after overnight and still continuing)with back screen. Could any one help me with this problem?
Many thanks in advance.
Liqin
4 CPU's sounds like serious stuff, much like HP 580s, I wouldnt be running fedora on it, I'd be using a more stable and longer supported OS like Slackware
Cheers

We have been running Fedora versions up through FC5 on 4 CPU machines without problem so I would expect FC6 to also work. I would try the installation again to make sure that your problem will go away.
Alternately, a look at the boot messages on a fresh boot might tell you something. The message you listed ""asking for cache data failed, assuming drive cache: write through, reading all physical data, this may take a while..." should be accompanied with other messages that might identify the problem.
I would at least boot it again and see if you get the same error. I can't find out form your message if you did multiple boots and got the same message. -- ======================================================================= You never know what is enough until you know what is more than enough. -- William Blake ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@sbcglobal.net
I, too, had some strange results with the first installation of FC6 on one box so I just did a clean re-install and had no problems. You didn't mention whether you had done a clean install or an upgrade from FC4. That's a pretty big jump if that's what you did.
