I can confirm this on a new Everex Stepnote XT 5300 laptop, dual-core Athlon 64 X2, Nvidia chipset. I'm writing this from the Fedora Core 8 liveCD, which works fine. There is probably a kernel command-line option to disable the PCI Hotplug code, which would be an acceptable workaround.
A fix (9e5858244926f4fddf8ba38a6b4fa3fe68e93836) was just merged upstream that may take care of this problem.
If it shows up in an iso image, I'll give it a try and report the results. The Fedora-9 torrents are all from February 5th; I assume I need to wait for new builds to show up.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Is this bug still present in Fedora 9 final?
