Hide Forgot
I have just tried upgrading an FC15 installation to FC6 using the 64-bit DVD image downloaded from the net. Now when I try to boot the boot hangs and I suddently get a screen full of messages which indicate the reason that it's fallen over is that sipwitch can't be started and I am then directed to sysctl status sipwitch.service or some such (sorry to be vague but I have no means of capturing the message and have had to boot to Windows to send this bug report). Have to say this is less than impressive. Although I don't particularly wnat to mess my system up (although I'll do pretty much anything to get away from the GUI with FC15) unless this can be solved simply I think Debian calls.
I confirm that sipw process takes very much CPU time. There is sipwitch-1.1.2-1.fc16 in Fedora 16.

I am somewhat confused as I have never ever used sipwitch (and wasn't even aware of its existence until this evening).

It possibly does take a lot of CPU, but it never even gets started on my system: the boot falls over at the point at which sipwitch is started. But I don't know enough about the internals of FC to do anything about it.
You can try to boot in text runlevel 3 by adding ' 3' to kernel commandline in grub. Then you should login as root and disable sipwitch service with 'chkconfig --del sipwitch' and restart system.
This is verified and solved by either disabling, or otherwise not installing, the "subscriber" module (sipwitch-plugin-subscriber). This also is fixed upstream in sipwitch 1.2.0, which I need to push back into F16.
