Since the problem repeats itself > exactly, I'd say it's not an intermittent, as a power supply would be. The system passed the memory test on the F14 install CD. I was able to mount the drive from the F12 rescue mode. I don't know what tests to perform on the disk to check on block(0,0). Probably to boot sector got zapped? There is NO windows cruft on this system; it did come to me with XP on it, but I only booted that once to check out that the system worked before installing Fedora 12 the first time. I am having trouble with the DVD/CDrom as it does not open in a vertical position (as it will be in my rack), but I can't see how the drive not opening easily would cause a kernel panic. So how should I test the drive, and if it is the boot sector I need to rewrite, how do I do that? And I know that F12 is eol. Amahi on F14 is still in development, so I will be running F12 for a few more months. -- 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
