Installation of DriverStudio 3.2 causes System Crash

[rcer]

Yesterday I installed Driverstudio 3.2 on a Linux host system, running VMWare 6.5. with WinXP as guest system.

The initial installation went flawless, with SoftIce running smoothly under Xp.
However after playing around for an hour I shut down the guest & host system, and now Linux refuses to boot. Instead of Fedoras friendly blue log on screen
I am now getting a screen which flashes back and forward between pitch black and bright white.
has anybody experienced a similar problem before?

Any advice with suggestions as how to fix this are welcome

Regards.
