Description of problem: At bootup, there is a kernel panic message: <0> kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt After selecting the kernel version from grub, the system freezes showing the above message in the final line. After one or two restarts the kernel successfully boots. Can't find anything in /var/log/messages as it is too early in the boot process for anything to be written. dmesg output looks OK too. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): After clean installing Fedora Core 5, using yumex, I updated the kernel to: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5 How reproducible: If the machine has been switched off for a while. Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info: Machine: CPU: AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1800+ stepping 02 Memory: 514444k/524272k available (2041k kernel code, 9312k reserved, 801k data, 220k init, 0k highmem) Motherboard: ASUS A7V333
could you capture the whole backtrace? even a photograph of the screen would be good enough.

there's one fix that *might* explain this problem pending for the next update. I'll get it into updates-testing by the end of the week hopefully.
