process hangs on 13xx smp kernels

[Jonathan Deitch]

Umm ...

That's not going to help my problem, unforunately,

In my case, it finishes booting and you have no keyboard, no mouse, and 
no network.

So no way to log in, no way to get to a console, no way to do anything.

So ... any other ideas?

I have this problem on every single 2.6.9 and 2.6.11 smp kernel that's 
been released, on both FC3 and FC4T3.  Nothing has helped - no kernel 
parms, nothing.

I'm very very close to getting frustrated enough where I'm going to have 
to dump fedora, if there's not some kind of a solution soon.
