Subject: A few problems with FC6?

Hey:

I just installed FC6 and I really like the new visuals and it appears 
to be snappier too.  I did run into a couple of interesting problems. 
I hope somebody can give me an idea where to look.

When I first booted FC6 up after the install, it didn't boot, grub 
booted.  When I was doing the install I selected to put grub on the 
first drive, sda.  I wasn't sure what to do so I used the rescue cd 
and reloaded grub and everything is fine now.  Had me worried for a 
minute though.

I get a couple of errors on startup,

usb 1-2 device not accepting address 2, error -71

Any ideas on this?

The other is

acpi_cpufreq (some library..............................) No Such 
Device

Is it this one? 
error inserting acpi_cpufreq in /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq

It goes by really fast.  If it isn't identifiable from this I'll just 
have to reboot 20 times to read it all.

This is harmless.  It just means that it is looking for acpi_cpufreq.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/kernel/arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq.ko 
The file could be there and there is a configuration file that points to it.  In my case, since I have an AMD Athlon CPU, the driver should be powernow-k7 which is not the same as cpufreq.ko and it reports this error.  There was a workaround from test-list archives,
Dave gave the following explanation
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-October/msg00373.html
and workaround was given by Jason and its bugzilla here
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201832

[root at localhost etc]# cat cpuspeed.conf 
VMAJOR=1
VMINOR=1

# uncomment this and set to the name of your CPUFreq module
#DRIVER="powernow-k7"

# Let background (nice) processes speed up the cpu
OPTS="$OPTS -n"

# Add your favorite options here
#OPTS="$OPTS -s 0 -i 10 -r"

# uncomment and modify this to check the state of the AC adapter
#OPTS="$OPTS -a /proc/acpi/ac_adapter/*/state"

# uncomment and modify this to check the system temperature
#OPTS="$OPTS -t /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/*/temperature 75"


The other problem I'm having is cursor traces in text boxes on 
programs like Firefox and Thunderbird.  If I press the backspace it 
leaves a vertical line on the screen where the text cursor was.  It 
doesn't happen in terminal windows or the Open Office Writer.

Thanks very much,
