Hello All,
I kindly ask for your support. On my MythTV frontend-only machine, I
had to replace the motherboard. The old motherboard was an ASUS P5KR
(Intel P35 chipset), and the newly installed motherboard is an MSI
P43T-C51 (Intel P43 chipset). The old MB wasn't faulty - I just had
to urgently use it in another machine.
Everything else in this system remained basically the same - CPU,
Video, etc. My video adapter is NVidia 8600GT made by ASUS (don't
remember the model exactly). I am using proprietary NVidia driver from
rpmfusion.
With the new MSI MB, the system just hangs when booting into graphical
mode (runlevel 5), and there seem to be no errors in /var/log/messages,
dmesg or in Xorg.log.
If booted in runlevel 3 (text mode), the system seem to work, but
there are several kernel oopses coming right after boot:

If I do an 'init 5' while I'm in runlevel 3, I can see Xorg starting
and occupying all of the CPU resources (so that my PC doesn't respond
to keyboard at all, and remote SSH sessions are also interrupted).
Again, I don't see any obvious error messages in the logs when the
system stops responding...
I made a 'yum update', getting all the packages up to date. It didn't
change the behavior at all...
I thought I could reinstall the system completely, but Fedora 12
install DVD also stops responding shortly after the "Check
installation media" step - before actually starting the installation.
At the same time, Fedora 12 Live CD boots up fine (in Gnome) but stops
responding after a few minutes.
I thought this could be a hardware issue. I checked the RAM with
memtest (well, 2 passes went without errors, then I interrupted it).
Then I installed Windows XP - to test if it will fail. XP worked good,
I installed all the drivers and noticed no stability problems at all.
So this looks more like a software incompatibility to me, rather than
a hardware issue (still, I'm not 100% sure)...
Unfortunately my knowledge of Linux isn't any good to be able to
track the problem. Could you please help me to investigate it further?
I can run any tests / provide logs, dumps, etc. Just need to know
where to go and how to look for a solution...
Thanks!
Here are some details for now:
