Description of problem: I had installed kernel 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 .However, when i tried to boot my pc with this kernel, the boot process stops. The screen remains black, and after a few minutes, it's still black. The system did not freezed. Resetting the pc is the only way to boot to kernel-2.6.17-1.2187_FC5. My pc is an AMD SEMPRON 3000+ with 1 GB mem, an NVIDIA 128Mb grafics card Maxtor 80Gb HD.
My pc is as following: HP ProLiang ML110 G4 with Pentium D 2.8G + 1G mem + 160G ST3160812AS HD + Matrox G200e graphics card
What's the last message you can see before the screens turn black (If possible) ?
I'm also having the same problem. My machine is an IBM Intellistation A PRO, dual Opteron 285 2.6GHz, 8GB mem, 160GB SATA 7.2K HD, NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 256MB, running Fedora Core 5 for x86_64. I believe the graphics card driver is the problem but I haven't updated it yet.
You're using the driver from nvidia ?
hello,, No, i did not user the nvidia drivers, although i have got an Nvidia graphics card..: NVIDIA GF4 MX 400
Has any body sorted out this problem with the FC5 kernel 2.6.18-1.2200. If so, please let me know how. Thanks

Updated to kernel 2.6.18-1.2239, boot is ok
