I am using Dell Inspiron 1525 and Fedora 12 operating system

When I am updating kernel I have the following warnings. Can any body give me suggestions what to do?

Does it boot?
I have always had two missing messages.
I think the first on your list is new.
Is that something you actually use?

uname -a
Linux Ruthie-07.WinProxy 2.6.31.4-88.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Oct 20 16:33:16 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

P.S. You should only U the non kernel updates
The kernel needs to be i (installed or all of your old kernels are gone.

So you only have 88 now.

Dear sir


This is the result of uname -a

Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.31.4-88.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Tue Oct 20 16:33:16 EDT 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux


Yes. It is booting. But the gnome desktop is blurred in colors. But if once I lokc screen and log in it becomes ok.

But I have no idea what these firmware corresponds to.

You are very lucky. :)

The GDM logon screen for Gnome is very blurred on purpose.
You are good to go.

the messages are normal and they aren't a problem, they're just informational. Don't worry about them.
