Just installed FC6 on old machine. After updates it fails on uncompressing kernel.

It boots fine on kernel 2798. But after a few hours of updates with the new kernel it will not boot on 2849 kernel. ~ 400 updates (includes dependencies)

It's a Compaq Deskpro:
P3 733MHz
512mb SDRAM
80gig 7200rpm
small form factor
(AIGLX-XGL actually works on it!)

Please assist.

Will I have to stay on the old kernel? Any help appreciated

hey,

I am having a similar problem with fc6 and uncompressing the kernel. In my case the kernel boots but only after about 2-4 minutes. Does your box boot at all??
