I've been having trouble with kernel version 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4, so I downloaded 2.6.13-1.1525_FC4 and tried it. It seems to be broken in the same way, namely: Hardware: CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ running at 3 GHz Video Card: Sapphire Card running ATI RV280 [Radeon 9200] Motherboard: Asus K8N-E Deluxe with NVIDIA chipset Software: Various Linux Kernels X.Org version 6.8.2 Problems: The system won't boot properly. It starts normally, and gets as far as displaying "Initializing hardware... ", and then, when the screen is reinitialized the display disappears, and is replaced by a small square of colored vertical lines in the middle of the monitor. I don't think the keyboard works either, though it's hard to tell without a display. The system will boot properly if given a "linux single" command, and the X-Windows subsystem can then be started OK using a "telinit 5" command. The above comments apply to kernel versions: 2.6.12-1.1456_FC4 and 2.6.13-1.1525_FC4 when starting from a cold (turned off) system. They apply sometimes to kernel versions 2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 and 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4 I think only on an attempt to reboot. Once the system is started, it seems to run fine. More info available on request. jon
