Hi,
Can anyone please tell me why I get this kernel crash every time I boot Fedora and how I could fix it please. All I have done is installed Fedora 13 on my laptop and has ever since complained. It doesn't prevent me from using Fedora, but does crash on occasions which can be very annoying specially if I'm working on it.
This is some output I get from the bug reporting tool.

Fedora 13 is now unsupported, so really you need to try at least F14 now.
