kernel panic on Fedora 8 - a serious bug!

[Jim van Wel]

Hi there,

First try to get in a console with CTRL + ALT + F1 to see if your X is
just frozen and not the whole system. Because how could you know it's
really a kernel panic. If so, sometimes it's somewhere in
/var/log/messages if you are lucky. If not, disable the NetworkManager for
now and try to debug like loading and unloading the modules by hand. For
instance:

rmmod modulename
modprobe modulename

and see if it crashes.

Greetings,
Jim.
