You need to boot your Fedora system without the "rhgb quiet" at the end of the linux boot line in order to see all of the details, or hit the ESC key at the right point in time during boot or shutdown. This is the panic I get at shutdown on two different systems: ---- Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! exitcode=0x00000100 Pid: 1, comm: shutdown Not tainted 3.8.1-201.fc18.x86_64 #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff81645b9e>] panic+0xc1/0x1d0 [<ffffffff810647a8>] do_exit_0x918/0x9e0 [<ffffffff810648ff>] do_group_exit+0x3f/0xa0 [<ffffffff81064977>] sys_exit_group_0x17/0x20 [<ffffffff81657c19>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b drm_kms_helper: panic occurred, switching back to text console ---- I had to photograph the screen and than type this information into this message.
