kernel oops on Asus X64 machine, cannot send smoltProfile :(

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear fellow testers,

I installed Fedora 10 Preview on a barebones built machine with ASUS motherboard with
integrated graphics.  I had to install in text mode because the graphical mode, I could
not see the next button to click on it.  When I managed to install I yum updated it to
keep up with the updates.  I was yum installing wine and other packages like kile,
texmaker, maxima, ..., etc.  The machine froze and I tried rebooting, but was
unsuccessfull in applying the yum-complete-transaction because the machine ran out of
space.  I managed to boot DVD and ran rescue and completed the transaction.  I tried to
send in smoltProfile but it failed :(

[olivares@asus-amd64-athlon ~]$ smoltSendProfile 
Unable to save UUID, continuing...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/smoltSendProfile", line 35, in <module>

Kernel Oops is here:

Video is integrated and I get only 640x480 :(, monitor is capable of 1280x1024 but no X
org, Xorg -configure does not work :(, system-config-display has been depracated.  How can
I fix it?  Any thoughts other than custom Xorg.conf or how to do without it and achieve
higher resolution?  
Here's lspci in case that can help

I managed to fix the resolution I ran 
# Xorg -configure
and manually added the line "Modes 1280x1024" "1024x768"
"800x600", but as I tried to reply to this message from that machine, it just
froze :(  This has happened three times in a row.  I do not know why :(

If I boot back to the older kernel the -68 one, it runs a little longer, but still locks
up and no response from mouse or keyboard.  What should I do?

I'll probably be out for the weekend and get back to this machine on Monday, but I
will carefully try to pay attention to suggestions and advice.  Seldomly linux machines
have frozen on me, and when this happens I am in disbelif but it has happened :(

Thanks,

Antonio

It is more that everything is automatic or dynamic, so 
system-config-display is now almost never a solution. If you need it for 
a workaround then you can (usually) install it.

This has happened on
two machines only that I have, but only on one the Xorg -configure generates a working
xorg.conf .  However, the machine the one in which this happened is freezing after about 2
minutes.  I wonder what could be happening here?

i look like the r6189 module there is misbehaving, try adding
blacklist r6189 to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist

to see if the system lives a little longer.

I will give it a try on Monday and hopefully this cures it.  Although, I am somewhat
hesitant since that driver might be needed for ethernet connection?

Thanks,

Check your RAM. If you have several different RAMs leave in the board only 
one, test one by one.
