I have brought a new HP Compaq n6515b notebook which came with  AMD Turion(tm) 64 MK-38 CPU.

This noteBook is very new model form HP. I think it was lunched in HK at Apr 2007.

Actually , there are many problems to install AMD64 bit linux OS for a new model notebook.

This notebook took me one week to install the AMD64 bit Linux on it.

I am going to post my feeling and problem facing in the Blog. Hope to share with the Debian lovers.

Problem 1 : Choose of Debian Linux version

I love to use Debian , However the Ubuntu did a good job on Linux Desktop. Therefore , I start it with

Ubuntu 7.01 AMD64 version.

The first blood, Ubuntu  7.01 AMD64 live CD boot fails  and drop me into  console mode with  Kernel microcode  error message.

Oh, no, this is very bad, Ubuntu was broken my heart . Does Ubuntu 7.01 AMD64 version not work with the new AMD

AMD Turion(tm) 64 MK-38 CPU ?
