Comment 2 GeoffLeach 2008-05-29 19:18:06 UTC 
That's lshw, of course. 

On closer observation, it appears that the problem occurs _only_ with the
2.6.25.3-18.fc9.i68 kernel.
Comment 3 GeoffLeach 2008-05-30 02:18:04 UTC 
Well, seems like I lied. After several successful boots, 2.6.25-14.fc9.i686
failed.
Comment 4 GeoffLeach 2008-06-07 14:59:56 UTC 
Fails also in vmlinuz-2.6.25.4-30.fc9.i686. Will someone pleeeze take a look?
Comment 5 GeoffLeach 2008-06-21 21:00:51 UTC 
Clearly I've been living right. Problem no longer exists in
kernel-2.6.25.6-55.fc9.i686
