After booting the 2nd time with 2.6.12-1.1447_FC4, leaving the computer alone, found it very slugghish when I came back. Tried to restart from GNOME menu, it won't. Killed X, pressed Shutdown in GDM, it was returning to GDM. Hard reboot, here's the log. I reversed to kernel version 1398. It might be the ntfs module for 1447 (works ok with 1398).
