Linux "bluescreen"

[RJ]

Hi

I installed fedora core 1 on my second machine but i had a very strange effect.

1. Installed FC1 from CD's
2. Updated to latest released patches for FC1
3. Upgraded to FC2 Test 1 using yum upgrade

When i try to start with the latest kernel everything seems to work fine.
kudzu detects some new hardware and enters the configuration screen.
After a second i get a bluescreen with strange characters and my pc doesn't
respond to any key presses.

Using interactive startup and not running kudzu it seems to run fine.

So i change the config option safe=yes in the kudzu config.
Now i get a kernel panic instead. Can't recall what exactly it is but i
think something about spin_lock.

I guess it is hardware the new kernel initializes and kudzu doesn't know how it
can probe it correctly.

I could try to install FC2 Test1 directly from the isos and do an update and see if
it is some hardware that is causing me trouble or the upgrade process.
