Has anyone experienced kernel update failures when updating to various versions of kernel 2.6.30.9-96.fc11? I have 3 different hardware platforms that all experience issues when updating to different versions of 2.6.30.9-96.fc11. All seem to "halt" when loading this kernel. Observation of Console output shows "drm" console output and previous bootlogs from "known working kernels" say EXT4 should be the next console messages. When loading 2.6.30.9-96.fc11 I never, repeat NEVER, see the EXT4 console messages and the machine never finish booting. I have waited in some cases as long as 15 minutes just to give the new kernel "a fair chance" to load. The only recouce I have when this kernel loading failure occurs is to Ctrl-Alt-Del, reboot, and select the older kernel from the GRUB menu. Since I have to reboot the systems to get them working again, I don't know of any way to capture console output when the loading of the new kernel "stalls", so opening a Bugzilla case isn't worth the effort (no way to help the developers if I can't provide any console output). I am open to any "non-destructive" ideas that do not require any complicated hardware setups to gather additional data to sort out this issue.
