Photo of the screen with the error message

Description of problem:
After Fedora 17 was installed from DVD and reboot was requested, I pushed the button and the computer displayed kernel panic. Nothing worked, I had to switch the computer off and on. The computer started booting, grub menu was displayed, Fedora was selected and within a few seconds kernel panic occured.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora-17-i386-DVD.iso downloaded on 7 September 2012

How reproducible:
I have not tried to repeat installation, so I do not know...

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
No boot

Expected results:


Additional info:
Hardware: Notebook ASUS M6B00 (M6R) with WiFi Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG
The last OS installed was Fedora 13
The output of df -h from Fedora 13:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/hadr-pradan
                       20G  6.8G   12G  37% /
tmpfs                 241M  276K  241M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1              99M   59M   36M  63% /boot
/dev/mapper/hadr-ghar
                      111G   88G   18G  84% /home
/dev/mapper/hadr-opt  3.0G  2.3G  474M  84% /opt
/dev/mapper/hadr-jagah
                      9.7G  8.4G  886M  91% /usr/local

Filesystem of /boot is ext2, filesystem of othe disk partitions is ext3

I requested formatting /boot as ext2, / as ext3 and swap.

During installation I requested as additional repositories "Fedora" and "Fedora updates", not the "testing updates"

Attached is the photo of the screen after boot. The first kernel panic looked similar but I did not take a photo. After showing the kernel panic the computer stopped working.

I hope that some log files are on the disk. I can remove the disk, read it on another computer and send any file that can help to find the source of the problem and the way how to remedy it

I have just fixed the problem. I tried to boot Fedora 13 Live (I found the CD) but it reported filesystem problem on the disk and the system did not boot at all. I have removed the disk, connected via SATA->USB device as an external USB disk to a x86_64 desktop machine running Fedora 17. I have mounted all LVM partitions and copied the files. I have also verified that I can mount the /boot partition. After unmounting I have run e2fsck on the /boot partition. Finally I have returned the disk to the notebook and now it boots.
