Okay, so it turns out you can't add people without bugzilla accounts to the CC lists ... but I'll pass along any comments or suggestions to the person whose computer this is.
p.s. -- This is possibly related to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=169674 We'll try with yenta_socket in the hotplug blacklist and see if that allows it to boot.
Report: We tried booting with yenta_socket in /etc/hotplug/blacklist, and the original kernel boots without error. Looks like this is indeed the same issue as bug 169674, so I'll close it as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 169674 ***
