I was having trouble with my wireless connection dropping constantly on a fresh install of Fedora 14 x86_64 on an Alienware M15x with Intel Corporation Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300 wireless device. I used the compat-wireless-2010-11-22 source, built it and installed iwlagn and unloaded my wireless and bluetooth systems. I rebooted and now I receive the errors in the attached trace and my system will not boot. Please let me know if you need further information or if you have some advice on how I can get my system back to booting. I'm able to boot into a live cd, mount the partition and chroot in, but make uninstall errors out.
