I put a new hard drive in the box and tried Fedora 13 and now Fedora 12. It seems to freeze at random or panic. I suspect hardware or a driver. I've been pulling cards, but it seems to happen regardless of what combination I have in the box. I've tried Gnome, KDE, and now init 3, but it seems to happen with the same frequency. I left it on last night and found these messages on the screen this morning:

I don't see any indications of why it freezes in the message log when it does. I looked for core files in a few places but found none.

What experiments could I try that might point to the source of the problem? Would a core file help? If so, how do I get the system to generate one? How do I figure this one out?

Since I have not been able to capture the output of the panics, I don't know if it fails in the same place every time. That was intended to be one of my questions. How do I capture the panic output? When it just freezes, how do I find info on why?

Yes, I tried Fedora 13 first. When I ran into the problems, I tried Fedora 12. When I experienced the same freezes and panics, I decided it was not version specific.

Thanks. Please keep the questions coming.
