Ok... After installing both kernel-2.6.9-1.1049_FC4, and 
kernel-smp-2.6.9-1.1049_FC4 I'm still pretty much in the same boat. 
Neither of these kernels will boot.

The first smp kernel begins to boot, but then hangs just after you get 
the splash to the console from Grub of what drive that its booting from. 
The kernel-2.6.9-1.1049_FC4 kernel has panic and sends this message to 
the screen:

Kernel panic - not syncing: drivers/ide/pci/piix.c: 390: 
spin_lock(drivers/ide/ide.c: c0364d48) already locked by 
drivers/ide-iops.c/1234

Any ideas on this one? It would appear that the rabbit hole continues to 
get deeper and deeper. I'm actually starting to have fun with it. ;)
