Even if it is, the chances of the kernel panic hitting the logs are extremely slim (we tend to lock up instantly, and ext3 needs at least 5 seconds for something to hit the disk). To get better debug data from this, I suggest turning off rhgb (remove it from the grub command line), and booting with vga=791 to get more lines of text onscreen. Hopefully that will then lockup with the panic onscreen where it can be captured with a digital camera (or worse case, by hand) Dave -- http://www.codemonkey.org.uk -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
