Description of problem:
Hi
I am new to this, but since building a PC with Linux I cannot boot it without 
getting some error messages; I reboot several times and eventually get in to 
gnome,
The latest one began with
"INIT Entering runlevel 5
Kernal panic; fix pre_chain allocation you lazy bastard"

(I am not sure if they meant me or the developer but this comment should be 
removed from you code.) So my real question is; is their something I can do to 
send you (some system log) so you can have a look. You should have all the 
versions I am running as I have registered to red hat network,

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.boot the computer
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:  I get the error message, the keyboard lights flash, re-boot a 
couple of times, run a fsck and eventually get into gnome (about 25 minutes 
later)

Expected Results:  It should take me less than 2 minutes to log in

Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of
the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem
persists.

The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, 
and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in
the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/
