Fedora12 Bootloader Installation

why I got kernel crash?
Published (2009-11-30 16:22:00)
sadly, the default is to send the crash report to kerneloops, and a few others too. I don't think the problem is in the kernel, but rather in abrt itself so the crash reports are probably going to the wrong location. Maybe the kernel devs will get tired of getting them and make the abrt devs change it. lol And in my case, the problem is in metacity, not even related to the kernel, but kerneloops got sent the crash report.

you should always be able to use the 'intel_iommu=soft' parameter as a workaround until you can get the updated kernel installed, anyway.

Where do you get your DNS and name servers from? I get mine from my ISP and since I use DHCP my router distributes them to my boxes (OK, to be precise, my name server is my router, which forwards the requests). Since one of your machines seems to work, what are the DNS servers/name servers in that machines /etc/resolv.conf?

Yeow! I thoht you when all the way to f13 for some reason. Anyway, you just need to install perf for kernel 127 then it may attempt to boot. But the initramfs may need to be rebuilt so the easy way is to update the kernel parts and install a new kernel. 150 is a good one. Then you can deal with any encryption problems vs. bootup problems.

Sounds familiar. I had USB issue during the Beta (see bug 524808 ). Something to do with VT-d on desktop machines. A grub line or a BIOS setting was enough to fix I thought? Cheers Duncan

Hi, I have an MSI Wind U100 and present the same problem with the screen. After the login the control brightness got crazy and lag a lot. Eventually the screen will stabilize, but if I close the laptod lid and open it the problem back.

Hello hngharti, Log in at that prompt as root and then enter your root password. Next, try starting the X Window System with startx . If it works to start X and your desktop, then you may also need to edit /etc/inittab to change the default runlevel from 3 to 5 (the very last line).

Hello CD-RW It's the default kernel if you install from DVD and if your processor supports it. PAE stands for "Physical Address Extension" and allows processors to recognise more that 3.2GB of memory - or thereabouts - in a 32 bit environment. I believe from a live CD install you get the standard i686 kernel because there isn't room for alternatives on the CD.

Hello jmcc2950, When you switch the drive order like that, it has the effect of misconfiguring grub.conf vis-a-vis the Windows drive. Not only that, but when Windows ends up on a non-first drive, you usually have to use the map GRUB menu command to "virtually swap" it back to first for it to boot. As it is now, here is what the "Other" section of your grub.conf looks like in my imagination......

Fedora 12 Constantine is really the best Fedora release till date. One of the killer features is the default support for presto plugin and repositories. It really helps speed up YUM updates and downloads. You might like to know about some more features unique to Fedora 12.

The solution, as I see it, is to re-install the Ubuntu 9.10 boot loader. Ubuntu 9.10 uses grub2. I don't believe that grub 0.97 can boot a grub2 system but grub2 will boot the OS's that use grub 0.97. Grub2 will pickup on all of the installed OS's. Re-installing the Ubuntu 9.10 bootloader is probably the easiest solution.
