kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8 freezes my machine

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear fellow fedora users,

On one of my machines running fedora 8, the new kernel

 kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8
freezes my machine.  The previous kernel worked
without any problems that I know of.  A message
appeared about syslogd and it stayed there.  I am
sending this off from slax live cd.  I will reboot
again and see if it works because I removed it and
reinstalled it to see if it makes a difference. 

If lspci or smolt profile is needed, I'll gladly send
it.

Regards,

Antonio

Surely you have at least 2 kernels available in Fedora?

Yes, 
I have 4 kernels :).  And to report back the computer
has not freezed anymore :)  *Crossing my fingers*

After removing it and reinstalling it is back where it
is supposed to be.

Thanks,

Antonio

Timothy,

I sent the other message, then the computer froze
again.  The message was:

from syslogd@localhost at Feb 19 07:09:52
journal commit I/O error

I thought for a moment that all was well.  Here is
smolt profile for the machine:

Errata Found!
       
http://www.smolts.org/wiki/pci/1106/3044/1106/3044

[root@localhost olivares]# uname -a
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.23.14-107.fc8 #1 SMP

[root@localhost olivares]# rpm -qa kernel

kernel-2.6.23.1-49.fc8
kernel-2.6.23.15-137.fc8
kernel-2.6.23.14-107.fc8

so that kernel is history again :(.  Till a newer and
better kernel comes out or I get it from Dave's
repository :) maybe a 2.6.24.2 based kernel.  

Regards,

Antonio

My only point - which was not very helpful - was that 
I would have thought you could have re-booted running the previous kernel,
and would not need to dig out your Slax Live CD.
(I have one too, but have never found it as useful as trusty Knoppix.)
