I tried the 1275 kernel because I could not boot up the 1268 kernel.  It 
would hang
trying to start /etc/init.d/rdisc (router daemon).  I could not shut down 
either, I had
to do a reset.  The 1275 kernel did the same thing.  I rebooted to single 
user mode.
so I could edit the /etc/init.d/rdisc script to do an 'exit 1' at the 
beginning.
This is an x86_64 system with K8V-SE deluxe mb.  This allowed Fedora to
boot up.  I no longer get the udev abort on bootup either.  I can also mount
an smb filesystem now without aborting.

The only thing broke is trying to rebuild vmware.  /usr/bin/ldd aborts at
line 116 with a seq fault when I try running vmware-config.pl.

Otherwise, the kernel is getting better.
