I've recently installed fedora for the first time (fedora 9, on powerbook G4). All appeared to be working fine (except a lack of sleep functionality).
However, this morning I booted up, an after logging in, just before the desktop (KDE) was fully loaded it crashed, repeatably. Dropping to the command line during login showed that this as a kernel panic. The current task was kpowersave, so as a brief workaround I uninstalled that, and it repeated with wpa_supplicant, so I stopped NetworkManager. Now it seems to work OK.
However, I now have no power management or network, which is unhelpful, and any attempt to restart NetworkManager results in an immediate kernel panic.
I have no experience of diagnosing kernel panics, so I am at something of a loss as to what to do :-S.
I have photos of the kernel panic message if they are useful, but I don't know what to do with them.
cheers
