That's pretty weird, any chance they could try one of the Fedora 15 beta images? The 2.6.35.y kernels in F-14 are pretty crufty. :/

Hi Steve

We are having trouble booting Fedora 14 on a 2.0 GHz Dual Quad Xeon machine. We tried using nomce on the kernel boot line with no luck. We're upgrading from RHEL5.2.

Any ideas? Should I try Fedora 13?

Steve, that's odd -- any info on the type of processor (model #)?

Have them jump to F-15 beta ... hopefully that'll work ...
