Fedora 13 kernel crash

[garylang]

Could anybody give me any pointers how I might start to solve this, I'm no linux expert and this is all new to me.

Thanks

Sorry, I never noticed I posted this in the wrong forum and I can't see an option to delete it or move it.

You're not really in the wrong forum. The kernel forum is more for kernel programming issues. It sounds like either your kernel pci driver is broken/corrupted, or your hard drive is getting a bad sector. Have you been running this image for awhile without difficulties and it just started giving trouble, or did you do an install/update and it immediately started giving this problem on reboot?

Thanks for the reply.

This is a new install, the crash happened as soon as I logged in. The update tool also updated the kernel to 2.6.34.6-47.fc13.x86_64and was still the same.

Just to test, I installed on a spare machine at work and also started getting kernel crash errors, I was wondering if it could be the disk and if I should download another and burn on another disk and try again.

Thanks

EDIT:

Just logged in and checked the machine at work and it is not a kernel crash but was caused when starting Empathy (I think)

I'm not too bothered about this one, it is more about should I be worried about the kernel crash, I don't see any difference after the crash and the machine keeps running.
