Sorry, we're going to need more information than this. How does it not boot? Where does it stop booting? Are there any error messages?

It show lots of error logs , I paste some of them here , others attached two images.

Bug: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/rwsem.c:21

udevd-work[137]: '/sbin/modprobe -bv pci:v000<Here is lots of numbers>' unexpected exit with status 0x0009

seems this two line will be more useful.

I found it's caused by the switchable graphic cards.
It can works when I disable the switchable cards

I also have a lenovo w500.  I see the same bug and the workaround in comment5 works.  I have kernel-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.x86_64.rpm installed.
