I have had a FC3 box running quite nice for some time. I changed motherboards and processor to a faster, but the same chipset. I booted up and everything worked fine. I left the office friday and came back today and it had some kernel panic errors. I though no big deal, it must to had something with domino server. So I was going to boot knoppix but then it had errors. So I tried to sick in my FC3 disc and it failed b/c of kernel errors. I do not see what would be causing this. It has something to do with a spin lock / module not syncing but that about it.
The computer is a 1 gig celeron,256m,20 gig, Just the basics. I went from a 700mhz to the 1 gig and the motherboard is just a newer revision. I am not sure what to do. I need to get this back up, but it wont boot off anything.
Turns out I ran the memtest86 memory test from the fedora cd and it was spitting out memory errors. I removed a stick and now it is working fine. Does memory just go out. This has been working fine for quite some time.
