Well, I did compile a custom kernel and the kernel message went away.
If was really just a debug issue and had nothing to do with the 
umount/mount/autofs hanging problem, I don't know why it went away.
For the custom kernel, I took the FC2 kernel src.rpm and rebuilt it
with the 4K/nostack and 4G/4G patches removed.  I also added the 
firewire patches going around though the machine I am having the problem
has no firewire.  

But it does appear removing the 4K/nostack and 4G/4G patches fixed the
hanging mount/umount/autofs problem.  So far.
