Description of problem: go to boot kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 and i get a screen full of oops when udev tries to start. kernel-2.6.16-1.2096_FC5 has no problem kernel-smp-2.6.16-1.2080_FC5 has no problem I take it I'm gonna have to attempt to get another digital camera picture of the oops in action? God I hate trying to do that never get the focus right. I need a tactile screen so I can do a charcoal or crayon rubbing instead of this digital camera crap. The system is an aging dual athlon 1800 mp system. I think I might have seen this happen to this system when I was running the fc5 test releases/rawhide. I'll have to dig through bugzilla for my closed reports to see if thats true. -jef
Created attachment 128116 [details] messages for kernel ops
Sorry, the comment was ignored for the attachment. This is one of several page faults errors I've have recieved and this time the system continued. The system was running F@H for several hours. Darwin
FYI 2.6.16-1.2098_FC5smp from the people.redhat.com/~davej space boots with any issue on this box. So whatever the problem was it appears to be specific to the 2098 kernel-smp build and was corrected in the upstream 2.6.16.11. Hopefully 2.6.16.12 will also be without issue. I'll ping this report, with digicam screenshots if the soon to be released update kernel based on 2.6.16.12 also has a problem. Otherwise I'll close this as the original reporter. -jef
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5) based upon a new upstream kernel release.
