Yeah... I know that.
I would much rather see them as it is booting.
Here is the entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf
title Fedora (2.6.38.2.fc14.i686)
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.38.2.fc14.i686 ro root=/dev/sda2
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
initrd /boot/initramfs-2.6.38.2.fc14.i686.img
I have to admit that the kernel I am using is the
mainline rleased kernel, because the ath9k driver
seems to better support my AR5008 based wifi card
(has AR5614/AR2133 chips). I tried the regular Fedora 14
released kernel from updates (2.6.35.11-83.fc14.i686),
but using it, I was unable to pair with the AP, whereas
2.6.38.2 works just fine.
So, I wonder if my problem might be caused by
one of the boot stages???
Cheers,
JD
