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,
RAM, 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 stops responding when trying to
boot 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:
