Both pc running F12 at least I thought, but since you questioning it I
start to check and I found that the kernel on HP is
Fedora(2.6.30.10-105.2.23.fc11.i686.PAE) I suppose that means HP is
runnung F11 I do not remember for sure, I thing that the difference is
that at Dell I made a clean installation and at HP I did upgrade,
however, both were working fine up to the update.
Dell dimension 8300 Intel Pentium 4, 2GB of memory Has 2 HD 120Gb for
windows XP and 350 GB for F12
HP zv6000 with AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 1.5GB of memory, use dual boot on
single HD 80GB partitioned at 40GB each with windows XP and what I
thought was f12. 
I do not know how to get other hardware info, if it is needed please
give me direction on how to get them
