Created attachment 153248 [details] lspci and dmesg output
I need to see the actual panic messages to diagnose this. The dmesg you attached is not a fedora kernel, so isn't useful.
Created attachment 153325 [details] dmesg from Fedora kernel (fc6 I believe, since f7 kernels have not really worked since I starting using rawhide) Here is the Fedora based dmesg output. The 2.6.18-1.2869.fc6 kernel was the only one I had installed that would work for me. (All the others are for F7)
Created attachment 153326 [details] lspci -vv output from Fedora. Updated lspci output, this time it's from Fedora. Also I would like to add the Errors and start up. They are: SCSI Subsystem Initialized libata version 2.20 loaded Unable to access resume device (Label=swap- afaaaa98-8) mount could not find filesystem '/dev/root' setuproot: moving /dev failed: no such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /proc : no such file or directory setuproot: error mounting /sys : no such file or directory switchroot: mount failed : no such file or directory Kernel Panic - not syncing : attempt to kill init! That's where the boot stops. I hope this is helpful.
that label looks odd, can you paste your /etc/fstab ?

Comment on attachment 153463 [details] requested fstab Weird label is the result of a strange naming method of an early live-cd installer build.
Is there anything else that is needed from me at this point, or what is the status of this? (Not to sound impatient, I'm just curious).
Can you post the initrd for the failing install?
I'm sorry, I don't understand. I haven't used the "install" cds only the live cds. When the live-cd for Fedora 7 failed, I used a Fedora 6 live cd with an early implementation of the installer (not using anaconda). Once the FC6 system was installed I upgraded to raw-hide from there. The problems have been the same. I tried rebuilding the initrd with other modules, but this did not really help.
What is the status on this?
we really need to see the initrd.img to debug this further.
This is old the problem was fixed already, I though this bug was closed.
