Hi all,

i install Fedora 15 Beta on my lenovo G475, which equips with an AMD E350 cpu. the system installation completed successfully. but after the system boots, it hang without showing error messages. then i reboot and enter into my RHEL6 and do filesystem checks on partitions of the Fedora 15 Beta, no error found. the 'messages' and other log files did NOT report error.

sometime i can enter into it, it works normally. but after i reboot, during the boot stage, the screen suddenly turns RED, BLUE, GREEN, WHITE, BLACK completly! hang again...

i see a message 'cpu1 not responding' once, which can be found in my 'messages' log file.

BTW: i also have winxp sp3, RHEL6 in my notebook, both of them works well.

Hi,

i finally found out the problem. it is my wireless network adaptor, atheros AR9285.
if i disable it in bios, it seems that the system runs well without any problem. if i enable it again, the system hang when booting with runlevel 3 and 5.

I confirm similar issue with Fedora 15 in Toshiba Satellite C650D equipped with AMD E350 cpu. The problem seems to relate to the kernel because that error also occurs during a desktop session. Windows 7 which came bundled with the laptop is not affected.

Please try the updated 2.6.38.7 kernel.

Comment 13 Flos Lonicerae 2011-06-09 07:22:52 UTC
the same result... please see my new 'messages' files. the one with my wifi turning off shows my system works normally, the other with my wifi enabled shows the status of my system freezing.
