I am using FC2, upgraded to the latest kernel release for fedora itself. Just wanted to show you this: ========================================== [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -q --changelog kernel-2.6.6-1.435 ... * Fri May 28 2004 Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - Fix the crashes on boot on Asus P4P800 boards. (#121819) ... ========================================== The problem is indicated at redhat bugzilla: 121819 An interesting comment there from Dave Jones: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=121819#c124 ============================================= ... Additional Comment #124 From Dave Jones on 2004-05-27 07:06 ------- That DMI blacklist struct should read.. { exploding_pnp_bios, "ASUS P4P800", { /* PnPBIOS GPF on boot */ MATCH(DMI_BOARD_VENDOR, "ASUSTeK Computer Inc."), MATCH(DMI_BOARD_NAME, "P4P800"), + NO_MATCH, NO_MATCH } }, With that missing, we're dereferencing nonsense. The reason this works on other distros is probably due to the different memory layout in the Fedora kernel due to 4g/4g. ... ================================================ It is a kernel bug, and is present in other distros too. Just that they are not tripping over it now. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya sandip (at) puroga.com Puroga Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
