Did you actually mean 2.6.25 ? 

2.4.25 was in the past.  We are actually running a

I am running kernel-2.6.25-0.161c7.git4.fc9 or
kernel-2.6.25-0.155rc7.git4.fc9?  

Because I did not apply updates on Saturday or Sunday,
but will do so tomorrow :)

The 2.6.25 kernels and 2.6.24-?? have given troubles
for some users and the list has the details.  Some
kernels would simply not boot and we would try left
and right till the latest one did the job.  

BTW on one machine I have no rhgb quiet and I can see
all the messages when I am starting the machine and on
the other I have it turned on and it does display the
startup messages that I can see and right after udev
and selinux messages, the rhgb kicks in and takes
over.
