   Hi there,
        I have an ati laptop, and to try out the livna drivers I
upgraded as in 
yum --enablerepo=livna-testing --enablerepo=updates-testing install
xorg-x11-drv-fglrx
   This didn't work:

Complete!

I booted the new 2069 fine, but after a couple of hours I have a dead
system. It may be unrelated. The symptom is that on boot something
goes wrong in 'making udev', related to 'do_page_fault'; the actual
error seems to be different every time I boot. The 2054 and 2069
kernels both give the same error.
  I can get in with the rescue disk, but I don't know what to fix.

   Any suggestions?
         Thank you,
                Bill
