It is not just you, but me as well.  I have Intel graphics
chip-sets as I posted this and BZ as well:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465132

My motherboards are:
====================
1) ASUS P5GC-MX/1333: LGA779, Intel 945GC + ICH7
2) Intel DQ35J0: GMA 3100, Q35 Express Chipset, ICH9DO

See my post: "Updates caused problems..."

Note: All of my problems started when the kernel
bootup says: "... parsing ELF..."



For (1) "ASUS P5GC-MX/1333":
============================
The kernel HANGS with kernel versions:
kernel-2.6.26.3-29.f9.i686
kernel-2.6.26.5-45.fc9.i686

For 2.6.25.14-108.f9.i686:
the startup GUI fails but startup text (init)
continues on and successfully starts login GUI



For (2) "Intel DQ35J0":
========================
All of the Kernel versions do not hang.
The startup GUI fails but startup text (init)
continues on and successfully starts login GUI

I believe this is related to the xorg updates
some time after kernels releases later than
kernel-2.6.25.14-108.f9.i686

But as for the HANGing - I have NO CLUE what
is going on nor why. See my posting for further
information as the the boot sequence data therein

FWIW,
Dan
