I could work-around the problem by booting another kernel (*). I installed
2.6.29.4-167.fc11.i686.PAE RPMs and booted that kernel, works now.

There must be something wrong w/ kernel 2.6.30.5-43 or something in my
config it dislikes.

(*) anyway, that 2.6.30 kernel didn't seem very stable to me at first
glance, I got a system complete hang while in init 2 and after that
fsck crashed while checking the root fs ;-).
