Description of problem: kernel-2.6.25-0.50.rc2.fc9.i686 fails to complete init into runlevel 5 Get the INFO/recursive locking message when NetworkManager starts, and the system "hangs": displays text login, but does not seem to accept any input. I get the BUG/lockup after entering CTL-ALT-delete (the system does shutdown "normally"). Sorry for jumping the gun on this version.... hoping to get one that supports KVM ... :-) System is a Thinkpad X60. I'll attach what appears to be the relevant portion of /var/log/messages Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.25-0.50.rc2.fc9.i686 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install, boot 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:

Issue seems to be with NetworkManager (and derived kernel support). Booting in runlevel 3 with NetworkManager "turned off" works. I can bring up the network interface manually and do a "startx" without problems. [Booting in runlevel 3 with NM "turned on" produces above problems and freeze.

Looks like this was reported upstream: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/2/15/542 The second lockup (comment #3) is a different issue and probably warrants a separate bugzilla.
Don't seem to be getting lockdep issue with kernel-2.6.25-0.61.rc2.git4.fc9.i686
