Fedora 8

Problem

It does not boot with the default kernel 2.6.23.1-42.fc8.
Fix
In order to boot to firstboot after installation, edit your grub entry with
nohz=off nolapic.

/boot/grub/menu.lst:
[...]
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.23.1-42.fc8 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet
nohz=off nolapic
