I did not try it on another computer. It looks like Fedora 17 LIVE DVD
is working fine on the machine. Perhaps my hard drive (which is brand
new, 3TiB) is not good after all. I will reinstall the system on another HDD.
Thanks.

Hi there,
I am finding a lot of problems with Fedora 17. I have installed the
DVD distribution
and after a few days I got a kernel panic after an upgrade.
Fortunately after a few days I could re-upgrade the kernel to a newer
version available.
However many system commands do not obey me.
For instance, it does not allow me to choose wallpaper, it is now
complaining
about glibc with errors, why? Everything is fresh install. I have also
tried yum reinstall glibc
unsuccessfully.
It does not let me open System Settings now. All very strange.
By the way, default GNOME is horrible. I have successfully changed it
back to Gnome 2.
However the system seems to be still very unstable. I choose NAMED and
SMBD at Services
but after a reboot systems seems to lose the information so I have to
set it back up manually.
I used RH9 in the past which was wonderful, very stable. Then RHELv5
very stable too but RH
no longer allows academic subscription. So I stuck with Fedora14 which
worked fine too.
Now I am having all these troubles with v17. I have been using Linux
for over twelve years now
and do consider myself an expert with it as much as other Unix OS's.
Should I wait for the new release 18? Why 17 is so unstable? Would
anyone please advise?
Thanks
Luiz
on my systems, F17 works flawlessly and I think that it is one of the most
stable releases, I think that something is not working properly on your
system: have you tried on a different machine??

Just curious: Could the size of the HDD have anything to do with the
flaky behavior of the OS? I have been a user of Fedora since 5/6 and I
haven't read about anyone installing it on such a large drive, not that
it should matter, but maybe the installation might have places a certain
folder (/etc?..../swap?) in a different location due to the size of the
HDD? just curious...I seriously doubt this could have anything to do
with it....but I figured I'd throw it out there...
