In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5 have reported that installing a kernel update has left their systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2 installed. See bug 207474 for further details. If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.

Failed on 2.6.18-1.2200, and is also still failing on FC6 at 2.6.18-1.2798. See config under my post above.
Sorry, no config provided on this issue. This is Toshiba M45-S2692. Same result with both FC5 and FC6.
I also observe this bug, on P965 system with "Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 22)". I upgraded while I was using 2.6.17 (i386) on FC5, I experienced this ~ once a day, right now the same happens with FC6 and kernel 2.6.18-1.2798 (x86-64). dmesg output right after it happens is Oct 30 22:02:15 washi kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out Oct 30 22:02:15 washi kernel: sky2 eth0: tx timeout Oct 30 22:02:15 washi kernel: sky2 hardware hung? flushing rmmod & modprobe fixes this.
Please try the fedora-netdev kernels: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fedora-netdev/ Does the sky2 driver version in these kernels work any better for you?
Closed due to lack of response...please reopen if/when the requested info becomes available.
