Both the 1069 and 1074 oops when booting in runlevel 3. The strange 
thing about the oops problem is that I performed 'touch /.autorelabel'
  because of some lockups related to selinux preventing GNOME from 
getting past a mouse cursor and blue background with a kernel before 1069.
I also ran 'shutdown -Fr now' after applying the latest upgrades from 
rawhide.
The strange thing is that with 1074, it fsck'd the filesystem, performed 
a relabel, then booted up to where the kernel oops'd.
Then when rebooting again with the rawhide kernel before 1069, it went 
through the fsck and relabeling process again. On the filecheck, it 
referred to a problem related to the 3rd file descriptor.

I took a picture of the oops that occurred, but did not pull it off the 
camera. From memory, the oops looked similar to oops posted by others on 
this thread.
