[SLUG] kernel messages shown on bootup

[Lyle Chapman]

A question about Fedora Core 3
On bootup I have lost the nice pretty boot screen and reverted to text 
bootup which is fine except for the gazillion kernel messages that are 
shown. I cannot see what is normally loaded. Does anyone have a 
suggestion, is there something that just needs to be turned off?

cheers

it's a kernel oops (ie. crash).  The README file distributed
with the kernel source (ie. in /usr/src/linux/README) tells
you roughly how to debug it.
Also see /usr/src/linux/Documentation/oops-tracing.txt.
(you'll need the kernel source packages installed obviously
for these)

Howdy Folks

Where do I go to investigate kernel messages like this below?
URLs?
Google will show me hundreds of similar, but nothing that really helps
me understand what is going on.
