I have a machine that does that unless I add "acpi=off" to the boot
line.  To try it out, do this.  When the GRUB screen comes up, (before
it times out and auto-boots) hit "a" to append to the grub command.
Then add " acpi=off", and hit return.  If that works, add it to the
end of the "kernel" line in /boot/grub/grub.conf, like mine:

        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.13-1.1532_FC4 ro root=/dev/hdb3 acpi=off
