I've put the "snap" KDE Live CD,

But it crashes on an AMD K8 (Athlon-64) machine.
The Beta image isn't one of the snapshots (of which there are 3 now I
believe), so there's 3 newer images out there then the Beta image you
tested. Can you reproduce this with more recently composed Live Media?
Sorry, the ISO I installed on my USB stick was in fact
F10-Snap3-i686-Live-KDE.iso
2. Is there a bugzilla for the F10 test distributions?
Yes, it's called 'rawhide' in bugzilla, and it should have the
appropriate components for Live Media.
Thanks for your response.
I take it "bugzilla" means bugzilla.redhat.com ?
I ask because I see a kind of bugzilla list
in the Alpha-Beta (Fedora 10 Only) forum
at <http://forums.fedoraforum.org/forumdisplay.php?f=64>.
One of the Fedora Forum admins will need to update that to
Alpha-Beta-Snaps or something.
The redhat bugzilla strikes me as very hard to navigate.
There seems to be no way to limit the search for bugs to F10.
If I click on "Search existing bug reports"
and choose Classification:Fedora and Product:Fedora
the page hangs for about 30 seconds,
and then I get a Javascript message
"A script on this page may be busy,
or it may have stopped responding.
You can stop the script now,
or you can continue to see if the script will complete."
Am I alone in finding the Redhat bugzilla system extraordinarily obtuse?
I imagine they must lose at least 80% of bugzillas
because people just can't work out how to report them.
The KDE bugzilla system is far from perfect,
but it is infinitely better than the Redhat one.
Part of the problem may be connecting the 7000+ software components
(packages) that make up Fedora. That is way, way more then KDE has in
their bugzilla.
Interesting details include;
- Does the Live image boot if you put it on a CD?
I guess I should try this (and I will).
But the USB stick works on other computers,
so I don't see why it should not work on this,
unless the snap Live CD just doesn't work on this computer.
- What type of kernel panic do you get?
Well, it seemed to involve IRQs, as far as I could see.
But is there any way to save the backtrace,
or does one really have to transcribe it all by hand?
Is there any way of reading it from, or sending it to, another computer?
And which is most important, the beginning or the end of the trace?
You could set it up so that it logs to another computer, by appending
(IIRC) syslog=<ipaddress>:<port> to the kernel cmdline.
- Are there any existing bugs against the kernel version included on the
Live Media that you know of, that are similar to the behavior you are
seeing?
As I said, I'm not sure how to restrict the search to F10.
Searching for "kde live cd kernel" finds 39 bugs,
none of which seems directly related to my problem.
But I submitted my problem as bug #469562.
Since it's the kernel we're talking about, this may not be a KDE Live
Media specific bug and as such may have been logged against another
component of Fedora (e.g. the kernel, maybe).
