OK ... the kudzu/sk98lin problem is 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119011

The messages, etc. are far too much data to put on the mailing list so I am 
emailing them directly to you (jmorris at redhat.com).

The data include /var/log/messages and dmesg for booting up with selinux set 
to permissive as well as /var/log/messages for booting up with selinux set to 
enforcing (lots and lots of messages plus failed services).

All testing was done an an ASUS mobo with a Opteron 140 and yesterday's 
snapshot of FC2 x86_64 development.

Please not that when the system bootup completed, gdm would not start.  In 
addition, I could not login as root.  I have not done anything except play 
with /etc/sysconfig/selinux changing between enforcing and permissive.  Since 
the default for the install is "enforcing", I would expect the installed 
system to at least come up and that I could login.

To change between enforcing and permissive, I had to reboot into single user 
mode and after changing /etc/sysconfig/selinux to rebot to have it take 
effect.
