I had to reset. Have you tried a <CTRL>-<ALT>-<F1> when this happens? Since desktop is being started on tty7, if it fails and seems blank, maybe switching to virtual console 1 will work, if the machine is still alive.
This symptom actually sounds exactly like what has been happening on my laptop when no networking is available at boot time. It could be unrelated to the panic problems.

It's probably not relevant to the panics but it could be producing other symptoms that are confusing the diagnosis. Try to get it fixed again if you can. Bill's advice (e.g. about checking hardware connections) is good. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
