Hi Gary,
Thanks! I also have updated my BIOS (as mentioned in a subsequent post) but I have
continued to have frequent error messages and lockups even with the mainline vanilla
kernel. I have filed bug reports on both
kernel.org and fedora -- hopefully it will be
fixed soon.
Btw, what does running memtest for 24 hours mean? What do I have to do?
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan

I've had similar error messages and hang of the system
(unresponsive,
but powered on). I would check if there is any firmware upgrade you
could apply to the motherboard and also run memtest for 24 hours. I
recently did flash my motherboard and haven't had a hang since, but
its a server/raid and the load can get pretty big, hasn't yet.
