Kernel panic - noy syncing: Attempting to kill init!
If you need machine information I can gladly send it.
Any ideas on how to proceed with this machine?
Have run FC3, FC5 up to kernel 2.6.17-1.2174_FC5, then
installed fc6 and ran sucessfully up to now. Thanks
for all input and ideas given.
Regards,
Antonio
