Hmmmm.. 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686 is the default kernel installed by fc13 (and boots in rescue mode), though 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i686.PAE is usually installed if the processor supports extended addressing, even if you don't have 4GB or greater RAM installed (4GB might be the maximum possible with the 8300; if so, PAE would not provide much of an advantage). Fedora keeps the last 3 kernels installed by default... however, there seems to be only 1 kernel installed on your Dell (indicated by having only the 2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE subdirectory present). Did you change the /etc/yum.conf file's installonly_limit parameter ? Or do you recall removing the 2.6.33.3-85 kernel after the initial install? Someone earlier suggested removing the rhgb and quiet from the kernel line in the grub menu... then you said you had tried to edit grub.conf - I'm sure they were referring to the boot menu that presents right after the POST screen disappears, allowing you to choose between windows and fedora. Select the 2.6.33.6-147 kernel, then hit 'a' to alter the kernel parameters... hit Enter after deleting the rhgb and quiet; that change lasts only for one boot cycle. I usually just hit Esc when the GUI boot appears to see the boot messages... essentially the same as removing rhgb and quiet Is there only 1 kernel listed in that menu, by the way? Sorry for the delay in replying - my ISP has been down most of the day. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
