Hi Leon

I'm running kmod-nvidia and kmod-forcedeth from elrepo

The nvidia-kmod had an update to work with the new kernel, the forcedeth
did not but as far as I can tell it didn't need one. (also why on earth
the forcedeth module has gone from the stock kernel in 7 I have no idea)

The first thing I tried however was uninstalling both, but I'm still
getting the same panic

Is there any way of logging it so I can see exactly what the panic says?

thanks all

Duncan
