koji kernel: "barrier-based sync failed"

[Robert P. J. Day]

  after installing the current koji kernel for my x86_64 system (for
the purpose of testing video), very early in the boot process, i got
the following diagnostic flashing on the screen, followed by a total
system hang:

  JBD: barrier-based sync failed on dm-0:8 - disabling barriers

i powered down, powered back up, and got further into the boot process
up to the network initialization, then rapid flashing of ADDRCONF
messages on the screen, then another hang.

  thoughts?
