A little more information.

I just tried kernel-2.6.13-1.1549_FC5 and it doesn't even boot.

It gets as far as:

	Red Hat nash version 4.2.21 starting
	Going to resume from LABEL=SWAP-sda8

and then stops doing anything.

Also, I'd be confident to suggest that the above problem is related to
NetworkManager starting and then dying (unreported, but probably worth
nothing in the context of the initial report), which is what started my
looking around to see what's wrong.
