[PlanetCCRMA] Fedora Core 4 Kernel Problem?

[Daniel Skevington]

Hi, I've had a look at /var/log/messages (i don't seem to 
have an /etc/rc.log) but it doesn't seem to keep any record
of the failed boot attempts?

I'll keep trying to get into the interactive set up, it seems
to skip past the option pretty quickly though...

Thanks,
Daniel.
