I managed to download the new build about an hour and a half after it finished. Installed it on the fedora 15 partition and the kernel fell on it's face! It hangs up right after the start of boot, with just a few(maybe 50) lines of text. I wrote down the last few lines, but don't have much time for setting things up for a serial console(don't know if it would help much here(but I should have the capability if needed)). Anyway, here's the end of the text. I'll drop it off on the list this time. Memory:8089012k/9437184k ...more mem stuff Preemptible hierarchical RCU implementation RCU lockdep checking enabled Verbose stalled-CPUs detection is disabled NR_IRQS:33024 nr_irqs:512 16 Extended CMOS year: 2000 Console: colour VGA+ 80x25 That's it, and the computer would sit there lost in it's own nightmare getting very warm. I tried putting "nomodeset rdblacklist=nouveau" on the kernel boot line, but got the same hang/message. This is the same computer that was mentioned in the message from Fernanado a few back.
