Description of problem: I just tried booting at least 5 times with different kernel versions I have: * 3.6.0-0.rc6.git0.2.fc18 * 3.6.0-0.rc7.git1.4.fc18 both with and without 'quiet' parameter. The boot process stops at some point and system restarts after a screen of some error that I'm not given a chance to read at all. Now that I was able to boot this time using the older kernel (3.5.4-1.fc17), I can see these traces in my /var/log/messages: Oct 1 21:27:10 localhost kernel: [90245.244220] Call Trace: Oct 1 21:27:10 localhost kernel: [90245.244222] <IRQ> [<ffffffff8116492b>] warn_alloc_failed+0xeb/0x150 Oct 1 21:27:10 localhost kernel: [90245.244229] [<ffffffff81168f45>] __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x8b5/0xb40 Oct 1 21:27:10 localhost kernel: [90245.244237] [<ffffffffa04210af>] ?

Are you still seeing this with the final 3.6 release, or the 3.6.x updates?
(In reply to comment #1) > Are you still seeing this with the final 3.6 release, or the 3.6.x updates? Nope, it seem to be gone now.
Thanks for letting us know.
