Created attachment 408755 [details] file that shows error message Description of problem: Since older 2.6.34-0.4.rc0.git2.fc14.x86_64, none of the newer kernels have been able to boot, all of them die with the message in the picture(attached). This is on rawhide. $ cat /etc/fedora-release Fedora release 14 (Rawhide) I have been trying out the newer kernels, but cannot get past the screen which I will be attaching. I have been a bit busy and therefore not able to file this bug. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.34-0.38.rc5.git0.fc14.x86_64 This one above and all new kernels after this one: 2.6.34-0.4.rc0.git2.fc14.x86_64 This is the only kernel that works on my machine without the error above. How reproducible: Don't know it happens on this machine only :( Here's smoltprofile to see if it would help? http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_8b7db8bc-665b-4e96-a662-2750f5d2adac Steps to Reproduce: 1. install newer rawhide kernel(s) 2. shutdown and restart machine 3. see the greeting(picture) Actual results: kernel does not boot Expected results: that the kernel boot like on other machine that also runs rawhide, but has nvidia chipset happily using noveaux drivers :) Additional info: upon request

Does not boot! What should I do?
As I already suggested on the mailing list... Have you tried booting with pci=nocrs on the kernel command-line ?
As the last several kernels before kernel-2.6.34-2.fc14 Don't work even with that boot parameter. The only one that booted and still boots is 2.6.34-0.4.rc0.git2.fc14.x86_64 I have had no choice but to rpm -e kernels > 2.6.34-0.4.rc0.git2.fc14.x86_64 If you have other boot parameters I can try, please let me know. This one does not help. Thanks.
Can you get a picture of the entire screen with the error messages? And try turning off the flash on the camera too.
