probably the smolt profile (from f14) will be someday available here:
http://www.smolts.org/client/show/pub_6da62aa6-7873-4da2-8803-4e5e6a3c5ff9
right now, the site is in guru_meditation state :)
while the crash info was displayed, i've seen some mentions of plymouthd.
video card is
$ lspci -nn | grep -i vga
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce
7300 GT] [10de:0393] (rev a1)
i'll try disabling the plymouthd service (if there is such thing) and
report back.
yes, the process that crashes the kernel seems to be plymouthd. any know way
to prevent plymouthd from starting? removing rhgb quiet didn't help. also,
once, i've seen something familiar: /proc/device-tree: can't find root, like
in the good old days, when fedora was unable to figure out which of my three
hard drives is first ... but that's another story.
