Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Boot (Dual boot on VAIO notebook with XP) 2. 3. Actual results: Starting udev disabling irq#10 failed Expected results: It halts at initial stage of the boot procedure with some assurace that its trying something in the background. Additional info: This model (vaio fj100 series) has builtin camera as extra feature. I did install using fc5t3 dvd as dual boot with xp, though I had to use qtparted for partitioning for anaconda failed to partition (automatic or forced). vaio comes with two partition (perhaps a rescue partition for xp of about 6Gig at the beginning of the disk). I used conventional ext3 and swap allocation (LVM option is not clear to me, how to install on that). anyhow, rest of the installation went smooth, but it does not reboot. I tried going to the 'interactive' feature by pressing 'I' at boot, but it did not enter.
This is a kernel module causing the hardlock... maybe the kernel team knows more..
