This is a kernel or bootloader issue.

UEFI booting on X64 ICH9 and ICH10 platforms works for me. 

Try adding the following kernel command line options one at a time:  noapic, acpi=off, edd=off, and nolapic.   I have had to use nolapic a few times with UEFI platforms.

You can also remove the rhgb quiet options and add boot_delay=100 to slow down the screen output so as to better see what is going on.

There are still problems with EFI in 3.0-rc, and even if we eventually get the fixes into F15 there will not be an official respin of the install disks. Please test rawhide/F16.
