New kernel will not finish booting...help me with this error message?

[Basil Copeland]

FC3 was installed freshly on this machine.  As for
SATA, LOL.  It is an old PII333 with 96 mb of ram. 
Been running Redhat 7.3 forever, until I decided to
put FC3 on it.

IAC, I just swapped out the keyboard, and the new
kermel booted up cleanly.

Go figure.
