The problem might be related to the differences between the way devices 
are managed between FC3 and
FC4. Look into UDEV and other possibilities. I think the kernel is 
missing some features that the FC4 kernel used to have compiled in.

ACPI is a different issue, HP laptops cannot boot without it for some 
models. The model mentioned above and my HP ze4315us cannot boot without 
ACPI being functional.
