Yes I have the same I have filed this bug the other day.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=453298 This is on X86_64 FC9 and I have same issue on a "clean" install of FC9, was working on DVD install and then following yum update does not work. Can boot with older kernel and is ok, so I personally think its a kernel issue on FC9 James On Sun, 2008-06-29 at 17:05 -0500, Larry Finger wrote: > Richard Michael wrote: > > Hello, > > > > I recently installed Fedora 9 PPC on a Powerbook G4 Titanium.
