Secondly I've already spend ~3 days on this with little or no progress and a lot of jaded responses of no help at all. As I have made clear, my confidence that this will get fixed, and Fedora, is beginning to evaporate. Sure I'd like to get it fixed, but having worked in support, and repair myself, I know that without a repeatable fault it's nigh on impossible to fix. Also I started on Fedora core 2 and have been sorting my problems and upgrading along the way, so I don't appreciate jaded comments of the sort suggesting I'm some sort of arrogant idiot. Please do not come out with, "we do this for free" as an excuse for making jaded comments, that response will lose you a lot of respect from myself, and I already know that thank you! It appears this community is the place to look for assistance, and currently I'm not enjoying the experience, although I will reluctantly put up more information as I gather it. But currently I reckon waiting to try Fedora 16 is the best I can hope for. My recommendation before trying to install/upgrade any version of Fedora is to try one of the live CDs first. Current position ------------------------------------- I have reverted back to Fedora 14, as I want/need a working PC I am unwilling to try another install/upgrade after 2 failures, (it's a long process), it will have to be the Live CD After trying an upgrade I could not get consistent faults, not useful I created Fedora 15 install/rescue dvd, checking the signatures I did try kernel parameters like noapic to no avail My DVD burner works fine thank you It is not possible to get log files if you can't boot Using Fedora 14 rescue DVD after initial upgrade it appeared the install had become corrupted, (could not see my home directory) I have little respect for anybody that makes jaded comments or no further useful suggestions Currently the most consistent fault is the hardware fails to initialise before eventually showing some error stack trace, (I'm IT savvy and understand this better than you may think), and will note some of it down in due course At some point I will be changing my motherboard/graphics card, not sure when yet, and I have done this before with Linux installed. ------------------------------------- Please do not take any offence kevin, this is not aimed at folks like you who try to be helpful. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
