Hasn't happened again. Will remember this. Thanks!
Created attachment 451137 [details] Boot log for kernel-2.6.36-0.30.rc6.git0.fc15.x86_64 (broken) Again broken. I just confirmed kernel-2.6.36-0.30.rc6.git0.bz637647.fc15.x86_64 does work (running that one right now).
Sorry about that, wrong bug :-(
Presuming comment 4 cancels comment 3...is this still a problem with currently updated Fedora kernels?
This hasn't happened again since around August. Better close. Thanks!
Closing on basis of comment 6...
