I'm totally new to this forum.
Maybe this is why I can not run the fedora core 4.0 x86-64 boot disk?
I have a dual Xeon with EM64T and I'm currently running Win-XPro and have
loaded Win64 as well, but I want to load up Linux so as to utilize my 4 gig
of ram or else I'll stay with windows :-(
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Kurt

Both Intel and AMD have released 32-bit only chips with NX support. In
fact, Intel adding NX to their instruction set months before EM64T so
there may be quite a few boxes out there that don't boot at all unless the
bug only shows up on x86-64 capable boxes?
