Not sure yet what or where the problems are but having just done a jum update on my HP laptop (nw8240) and my IBM desktop from 2.6.9.42.0.2.EL the laptop is locking up during boot sequence and the desktop when running VMware Workstation seems to take all CPU and makes strange noises from the loudspeaker. Using grub to fall back to last kernel all is ok again !!. Ian -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
