Boot failure

Linux and Unix-Like Linux

Hi all
I used a dual boot operating system and it works fine for me. Now , i install a Ati radeon 9250 Agp card on my system and this results in boot failure of fedora 6. The graphics card is working fine with windows XP , i.e i have no compatibility issues.The system also refuses to boot when i tried with a live cd.

These are the error messages that is displayed after boot failure

BUG: Unable to handle Kernel paging request at virtual address ffffd320

EFLAGS: 0001002

EIP is clear_local_APIC+0x21/0xaf

Thanks in advance or any assistance.

Apparently, after you've installed the new card Linux wont' work, so you can try removing the card, add another or return the previous one and see if this fixes the issue. On googling, I found similar thread, but I'm not sure if it can help.

Thanks Sysgate
I haven't tried the procedure mentioned in the Thread yet, But i didn't understand that "after installing the new card linux won't work" . Does linux does not automatically detect vga card while installation.
