I just tried the latest kernel now and was rewarded with a hang during
boot.

I've filed a bug earlier about hangs with more information here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=492686

This all started around the time KMS was introduced, and the only way
I've found to have a working system is to pass maxcpus=1 to the boot
command line. The latest kernel even hung with this passed to it.
