I recently installed FC7 over my FC6. FC6 worked fine. With FC7 I frequently get a frozen UI system hang. The only cure is a hard power reset. This seems to happen mostly during or after extensive install (yum) activity.

Yesterday I just happen to have a terminal open where I had su'ed to root. I saw a kernel panic message spew across the screen just before the system hung. The listing was useless as the the UI was frozen and all I saw was the "die" at the end.

I have never seen or dealt with these panic before. Is there a way to catch these things in a file in order to help sleuth out the problem?
