e boot loader. I then manually created a grub.cfg file. After that F16 booted OK. I did not try R P Herrold's solution of using an F15 install, installing fedora-release-16-1.noarch.rpm with rpm, then doing a yum update. Thanks all you your help. -- Norman Gaywood, Computer Systems Officer

I wouldn't want it to reboot on those. The hung_task_panic=1 does in fact cause the panic when I want it. However the problem seems to be that it does not reboot after the panic. > echo "5" > /proc/sys/kernel/panic I already have this, although I have a value of 15. > On
