Kernel failure

hectorDUQUE · 02-14-2010, 01:57 PM

hi guys,

i am getting a problem when login into FC10. It boots correctly an shows the login screen; then, when typing my user and passwd goes to the desktop and shows a KERNEL FAILURE. At this moment, most of the times the PC is blocked and doesnt works any more. One time has continued working without problems.

after the las failure, my system log has this info:

Some thoughts, but nothing definitive:

The only supported Fedora distributions are 11 and 12
Your /etc/fstab omits the last two argument on each line, so your files are not being checked.
Have you tried booting from a Rescue CD or a Fedora 12 Live CD and running fsck on the contents of your logical volume? (Never run fsck on a logical volume's physical volume. That will destroy the LV contents.)
Have you tried adding a " 3" (i.e., a space and the number) at the end of the GRUB kernel line from which you're booting so you can start as a level 3 user? (You can use that GRUB built-in editor to do this.) You could also remove the rhgb and quite options from that line so you could see all the messages (and errors) as you boot.
