system freezes and kernel 2.6.33.6-147.x86_64 wont boot
Last modified: 2011-06-29 09:32:10 EDT
Description of problem: when i updated to kernel-2.6.33.6-147.x86_64 my laptop wont boot.it hangs while booting. so i am presently working on kernel-2.6.33.3-85.x86_64 which is totally very dangerous. since i am into programming microcontrollers and this thing (may be , im not sure if its due to kernel or uninstalled nvidia geforce gt 230m) causes system freeze at any time and my whole work is lost. in fedora forum i was told to install nvidia driver and when i did even the older kernel wont boot(hangs during boot).... these are the messages from /var/log/messsages before my last system freeze [CODE] Jul 14 19:20:05 universe kernel: ACPI Warning: 32/64 FACS address mismatch in FADT - two FACS tables!

this error Jul 15 00:31:53 universe kernel: sky2 eth0: rx error, status 0x5ea0002 length 1514 is occuring a lot of times.almost 2 to 3 hundred times.
it may be becuase im currently using nouvea in place of nvidia an it is not at all able to stand up to my nvidia. so thats why may be crashing a lot. also i tried installing nvidia driver. but i dont know why both the kernel(2.3.33.6-147 and 2.3.33.3-85) wont support.
i keep on finding this error every time my laptop crashes(or i should say freezes) Jul 16 16:09:10 universe kernel: sky2 eth0: rx error, status 0x5ea0002 length 1514 Jul 16 16:09:11 universe kernel: sky2 eth0: rx error, status 0x1100020 length 272 Jul 16 16:09:13 universe kernel: net_ratelimit: 2 callbacks suppressed Jul 16 16:09:13 universe kernel: sky2 eth0: rx error, status 0x5ea0002 length 1514 please help me, im in dying need of a workomg laptop.
hey guys i solved the problem its all because of nouvea.it is very unstable and not all able to replace the nvidia drivers. i recommend please not to include nouvea in newer kernels or os untill its fully capable of replacing nvidia drivers. you see my screen goes black crashes severel times
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 13. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '13'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 13's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 13 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
