Someone screwed this one up.
Once installed, the default background (default.png) would not work, and neither would mozilla. Strangely enough other backgrounds did work.
Switched back to kernel-2.4.22-1.2149.nptl and the default background and mozilla work again.
If I wanted that kind of quality assurance I would call Bill Gates, and buy some of his cruft.

The operative word there being *buy*!!
So how much did you *pay* for Fedora than??
Oh and by the way, many are using that kernel and you are the first I have heard of having that problem..
I understand that these things can be frustrating, but you would probably get more help if you asked for it instead of insulting the efforts of the dev team, the distro and the community..
Just a thought!!
Later..
Sorry developers.
:-[ It appears as though my Motherboard freaked out.
After rebooting with kernel-2.4.22-1.2174.nptl to get dmesg output, none of my kernels would boot properly.
After checking everything a bunch of times, still no joy. I tried a few BIOS settings, to make sure that the RAM and CPU were not being over driven {1.7GHz Celeron and 333MHz DDR}, still no joy. Lowered memory speed in steps down to 200MHz then everthing seems to work again.
Weird!
I better check to make sure Bill Gates wasn't in my office. :-)
Me thinks, me might want to get me a new motherboard.

The Bill Gates part was a joke, he couldn't pay me to use his cruft. You guy's mustn't have heard the "redneck tech support call" wav that was going around a couple years ago.
Have a nice day

I had a mobo that seemed to freak out as well (after running rock solid for over a year). I upgraded the bios on it and things became normal again.

I did not happen to hear that, but would like to. :-)
