Description of problem: When, after installing Fedora 15, I reboot my machine and choose the default installed grub option, the boot process then begins but eventually stops/hangs. 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 (both DVD release and with updates applied)


How reproducible: It is probably related to my specific hardware configuration, which is relatively new: 
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) Quad-Core
ASUS Sabertooth P67 B3 revision
Marvell PCIe SATA 6.0 Gb/s controller
JMicron JMB 362 SATA Controller
ASUS NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 1GB GDDR5
8192MB DDR3 Dual Channel 1333MHz (PC3-10600)
Western Digital Caviar Blue 1000GB, SATA 6Gb/s (WD10EALX)


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install from DVD
2. Reboot/boot computer
  
Actual results: Boot process hangs

Additional info: When the default boot process is called via a modified (from grub interface) command line without the "quiet" option, the system successfully boots. 

After installing the current updates, the following line/kernel is added to grub: Fedora (2.6.38.8-35.fc15.x86_64). Using this kernel I have not been able to successfully boot the system. The progress bar on the bottom of the screen completes but after that, the system seems to hang (ie: booting sequence never completes).

First boot hangs:
- Welcome (OK)
- License (OK)
- Create user - advanced xxx UID=500, GID=500 (OK)
- set time (hang)
- reboot = no BIOS. must must pull power from supply for ~15 minutes before BIOS becomes accessible. Works on FC14 with nouveau
- can figure out other component versions because can't login. Update repos used as of 10.Sep.2011.

Are you still seeing this problem with the 2.6.41.x updates?
