I have an Intel 830 ASUS laptop... and keep on having problems with 
1.715 kernels... better that previous kernels (as in 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=142240). before it 
oops'd at gdm restart. now it locks down at shutdown time with spin_lock 
msgs in console... sysrq- is not active so at next boot I loose the 
dump. let me know if I can be of any help
